Kunst und Handwerk : ABC in Bildern
An alphabet primer from Germany, published by Scholz in 1850, titled Kunst und Handwerk, pairing each letter with a craft or trade for young readers. The pictures are hand-coloured prints in small framed panels, each showing a tradesman at work in a workshop: an instrument maker, hatter, shoemaker, tailor, watchmaker, painter, wheelwright and carpenter. A designer could take the tidy grid of labelled scenes, the bold flat colour and the clear, legible period workshop detail.
