Im Sommer : ein Bilderbuch
Im Sommer is a German picture book for children by Lothar Meggendorfer, published in Munich by Braun & Schneider in 1895, with rhyming verses printed beneath each scene of summer country life. Its pictures show a horse-drawn carriage on a hill, children at a fishing shed by the water, a haywagon with horses, and a boy and a hunter beside a forest with deer and rabbits. A designer could take from them the flat, bright hand-coloured palette, the clear outlines, and the way each scene is framed as a narrow horizontal band with text below.
