Oscar's Jugendjahre : eine nützliche und unterhaltende Erzählung mit 12 colorierten Bildern ; Lehr- und Bilderbuch ; guten, folgsamen und fleißigen Kindern gewidmet
Oscar's Jugendjahre is a hand-coloured German children's picture book and moral storybook published by Lotzbeck in 1850, dedicated to good, obedient and diligent children. Its scenes of a carriage ride, a military encampment, cavalry on parade and boys flying a kite on a town outskirts show mid-nineteenth-century dress, uniforms and outdoor play in flat, bright, lightly shaded colour that a designer could borrow for period costume, pastoral vignettes or retro storybook palettes.
