Schulheftumschläge
A German school exercise book cover sheet from 1870, printed with four coloured battle scenes from the Franco-Prussian War: Weissenburg, Mars-la-Tour, Froeschwiller and the Metz capitulation, aimed at schoolchildren. The four framed panels show cavalry charges, infantry clashes and a surrender parade in dense, flat, hand-coloured lithographic style, useful for designers studying how war was packaged as patriotic children's imagery in bold blue, red and yellow.
