Berliner Original-Bilderbuch

1831 · Verlag der lithographischen Anstalt von Winkelmann & Söhne · 19 pictures

Berliner Original-Bilderbuch is an 1831 German picture book published in Berlin by the Winkelmann lithographic firm, aimed at general readers and children. Its hand-coloured lithographs group small comic scenes into sets of four, showing costumed figures, horse-drawn carriages, soldiers in camp, and rustic country life. A designer could take its loose, lively figure poses, tidy colour-washed outlines and clustered vignette layouts as models for playful editorial or period-style illustration.
