Was thun wir heute? : Ein Bilderbuch auf alle Monate des Jahres in 36 Bildern, erläutert durch Erzählungen und Gedichte, durch Anweisung zu unterhaltenden Spielen und nützlichen Beschäftigungen
A German children's picture book from 1870 by Philipp Jacob Beumer and Moritz Ulffers, arranged by month with three arched scenes per page and verses below each, written for young readers. The pages show children in seasonal activities: raking leaves and gathering wood in November, picking apples and walking in woods in October, playing in puddles and with umbrellas in April, and building a snowman in January. A designer could take the arched frames, the bright hand-coloured palette and the seasonal vignettes as a model for tidy, repeating panel layouts.
