Winckelmann, Karl Gustav, Hosemann, Theodor · 1835 · Winckelmann · 12 pictures

A hand-coloured German picture book of twelve scenes from 1835, published by Winckelmann with pictures by Theodor Hosemann and verse by Karl Gustav Winckelmann, made for children. Each plate shows a single working figure such as a gardener, wine grower, fisherman or bird catcher, set above a rhyming verse in black blackletter type. A designer could draw on the simple flat colour, the small framed vignettes, and the pairing of a clear image with a short verse.
