Was soll ich werden? : ein lehrreiches Bilderbuch
A German illustrated picture book, Was soll ich werden? (1888), published by Braun & Schneider, that shows children which trades they might choose. The pictures are hand-coloured lithographs of workers at their tasks: a shoemaker with a boot on his arm, a carpenter planing at a bench with curls of shavings, a mechanic at a workshop machine, and a clerk writing at a desk. Their flat colour, simple outlines and clear single figures suit a designer looking for period trade imagery with a bright, instructive tone.
