Die Jahreszeiten mit ihren Gaben und Freuden in Gedichten für deutsche Mädchen ; mit 8 fein ill. Bildern
A German children's book of seasonal poems for girls, written by E. W. Hertzsprung and published by Winckelmann in 1850, with eight finely illustrated hand-coloured plates. The four pictures show a girl in a winter wood, a woman and child at a doorway with swallows, anthropomorphic birds in finery with trumpets, and a seated girl with a flower crown beside a small cart; a designer might take their soft watercolour tints, framed vignettes and decorative floral borders as models for period storybook layouts.
