Die gut eingerichtete Haushaltung
A hand-coloured German devotional picture book from 1835, titled Die gut eingerichtete Haushaltung, showing a household's daily routine in small oval scenes with rhyming verse beneath each. The pictures show a family at work, prayer, supper and bedtime in plain interiors with wooden floors, tables and simple furniture. A designer could draw on their restrained palette, oval vignette framing and compact domestic detail for period-style household or nursery motifs.
