Bilderbuch für die schweizerische Jugend
A Swiss picture book for young readers, lithographed in Zürich in 1860 by Leonhard Widmer and published by Widmer's own lithographic house. Its pictures are small, grey-toned lithographs of everyday scenes: soldiers marching with packs, schoolchildren playing before a classical building, and a teacher with pupils in a schoolroom hung with portraits. A designer could take from them the compact vignette format, with figures placed against loose sketched landscape and a simple numbered caption sequence.
