Mehrsylbiges oder Papageien-Abc-Buch : Mit 55 bunten Bildern
A hand-coloured German alphabet primer from 1856, published by Chelius, teaching children to read through syllable tables for each letter. Its pictures pair each letter with a small coloured picture of an object, such as a flower, bird, windmill or umbrella, shown in simple outline with flat colour. A designer could take the boxed syllable grids, the naive hand colouring and the compact labelled object vignettes as models for informational charts.
