Im Freien : 20 Bilder
Im Freien is an 1864 German picture book of twenty outdoor scenes by Oscar Pletsch, published by Richter for children. The pictures are fine wood-engraved black-and-white illustrations, each framed beside a German verse, showing village children and rustic settings in a gentle, narrative manner. A designer might take from them the lively group poses, the sketchy tree foliage, and the way a framed decorative initial letter sits within a scene.
