Was Nußbäumchen den Kindern erzählt! : ein Bildermärchen
A nineteenth-century German picture book of verse and fairy-tale scenes by Gustav Süs, published by Flemming in 1860 for children. Its pages pair hand-coloured chromolithograph-style vignettes of children, mothers, and animals with decorative illuminated initials and blackletter-style verse set in ornamental frames. A designer might take its soft sepia-and-rose palette, the framed vignettes, and the flourished initial letters as a model for storybook layouts.
