Bilder-ABC in Raethseln
An 1835 German picture alphabet published by Wagner, titled Bilder-ABC in Raethseln, meant for children learning letters through riddles and images. Each letter page gathers small engraved vignettes of people, animals and objects, many in a loose, sketchy hatched style, that a designer could use for period character sketches, animal studies or decorative vignettes arranged on a grid.
