Annelis Gärtlein : eine Erzählung
A German children's story, Annelis Gärtlein, written by Marie Gerner and published in Basel in 1893 by Verlag von Jaeger & Kober, a Swiss publisher. The plates are black-and-white line engravings: a family scene with a Christmas tree, a street scene with children and a man in a top hat, and two girls looking up at birds in a tree. Designers can take from them the economical hatching, the contrast between dense interior clutter and open outdoor space, and the way small figures are placed against plain backgrounds.
