Bilder aus der Thierwelt in Liedern für unsre Kinder

Besser, Wilhelm Friedrich · 1838 · Hasselberg · 8 pictures

Bilder aus der Thierwelt in Liedern für unsre Kinder is a German children's picture book of animals, compiled by Wilhelm Friedrich Besser and published by Hasselberg in 1838 to accompany songs. The hand-coloured plates show paired animals on pale paper with a few loose strokes of grass and rock. A designer could take the simple stacked vignettes and soft watercolour washes as a model for naive, storybook-style spot illustration.
