Fritzchen und seine Mutter : in 12 Bildern
A hand-coloured German picture book of twelve scenes, published by Scholz in 1850 for young children, in which a mother and her small son Fritz go through everyday domestic moments with a rhyming verse printed beneath each image. The pictures are simple, flat and warmly tinted, with interiors of period furniture, costume and household objects a designer could use for mid-nineteenth-century domestic styling.
