Die Uhr in 12 Bildern mit Text
A German picture book from 1842 published by Winckelmann, with illustrations by Theodor Hosemann and verse by Karl Gustav Winckelmann, made for children to teach the hours of the day. Each hand-coloured plate shows a clock hour, from morning school bells to midday meals, with a rhyming German verse printed below. Its plain, lively figures of working families and schoolchildren offer a designer a ready source of mid-nineteenth-century everyday costume and domestic scenes.
