Kleine Schneidebilder
A mid-nineteenth-century German printed sheet of small hand-coloured cut-out pictures, printed and published in Magdeburg in 1855 as a pattern and picture sheet for children. The grid of tiny images shows everyday objects, animals, tools, clothing and household items, each labelled with a short German caption in a black type line beneath it. A designer might take from it the dense modular grid, the simple flat colour blocks and the naive stylised drawing of common objects as a reference for icon sets or pattern-based layouts.
