Alphabet

1835 · 1 picture

An 1835 alphabet primer, probably German given the captions, whose plate of four small lithographs pairs letters with objects: a standing figure beside a Roman numeral, a three-masted sailing ship with the caption Linienschiff, a lighthouse labelled Leuchtthurm, peasants at a rural scene captioned Landleute, and a runner captioned Läufer. A designer could take its tidy grid of captioned vignettes as a model for labelled icon sets or instructional panels.
