Die Geschichte von den fünf Schweinchen oder Jedem nach Verdienst : ein lehrreiches Geschichtchen in Versen uund Bildern

Ferdinand, C · 1867 · Schreiber · 13 pictures

A German illustrated children's verse book from 1867 by C. Ferdinand, published by Schreiber, telling a moralizing story of five piglets in rhyme and hand-coloured pictures. Its scenes show anthropomorphic pigs in human clothes, a donkey and a cart, and a bed-and-nursery sequence, drawn with simple outlines and flat bright colour that a designer could borrow for playful narrative panels with captions set beneath each image.
