Die kleinen Spielkammeraden. I
A hand-coloured German sheet of six small scenes titled Die kleinen Spielkammeraden, issued around 1840 as a picture sheet for young children. Its vignettes show children playing with animals, including a goat pulling a cart, a child riding a donkey, and a girl with a dog, in simple outline figures with flat colour. A designer could take its naive narrative pattern, tidy grid of framed vignettes, and bright, slightly off-register hand colouring.
