Letters on the kindergarten
Letters on the kindergarten is an 1891 London treatise by Friedrich Fröbel, translated and edited by Emilie Michaelis and H. Keatley Moore for teachers of early-years education, published by S. Sonnenschein. The only picture is a bookplate of the University of California, a framed ornamental roundel with a seal of an open book and a rayed star, ringed by Latin lettering and an 'EX LIBRIS' tablet. A designer might take from it the symmetrical framing, circular seal layout and classical lettering typical of early twentieth-century institutional marks.
