Prinzessin Klatschrose : La princesse Coquelicot ; The princess flower of sleep ; ein Blumen-Bilderbuch für Kinder
A German picture book of 1851 by Theobald Kerner, published by Hallberger, made for children as a flower-themed storybook. Its hand-coloured plates show flowers personified as figures, with German verse printed above or beside each scene. A designer could take its naive botanical colour and whimsical anthropomorphic character drawing, with flowers doubling as costume, shelter and architecture.
