Lieder und Gedichte für Christenkinder vom Verfasser des "armen Heinrich"
A German children's songbook of hymns and poems for Christian children, written by Christian Gottlob Barth and published by Steinkopf in 1842. Its small woodcut vignettes show rural and biblical scenes: figures picking fruit in a tree, a rainbow over a seated group, a couple by a windmill, and disciples gathered in a landscape. A designer could take from them the simple, compact narrative framing of small rustic woodcuts, with figures placed against trees, sky and distant buildings.
