Große Bilderschau
Große Bilderschau is a German picture book of 1840 published by Winckelmann, a collection of small hand-coloured genre vignettes for a general readership. Its pictures show everyday rural and travelling life in simple, loosely arranged scenes with a light, warm wash of colour, and a designer might take from them their clustered layout of small vignettes on a cream ground, useful for period-flavoured spot illustrations.
