[Bilderbuch] : [12 handkolorierte Stiche von Szenen, meist aus dem Kinderleben]

1840 · 11 pictures

A hand-coloured children's picture book of twelve engravings from around 1840, showing scenes mostly from childhood life. The four plates show street crowds of children around a man in a red coat, a group gathered before a painted panel under a tree, a tightrope walker with a clown above a fenced crowd, and children sledging on a snowy slope pulled by a dog. A designer could take the warm, slightly naive colour washes and the busy crowd groupings with many small figures.
