Reinhardt's ABC- und Bilderbuch
Reinhardt's ABC- und Bilderbuch is a German alphabet and picture primer published by Riese in 1865 for young children learning to read. Its pages are grids of small hand-coloured woodcut-style scenes, each captioned with a German word, such as animals, tradespeople and household figures, and one page is a silhouette-style fire scene with verse. A designer could take its simple, naive colour blocking, bold outlines and tidy labelled-grid layout as a model for educational or folk-style graphics.
