Goldenes Abc-Buch : mit Bildern und Reimen für artige Kinder
A German alphabet primer, Goldenes Abc-Buch, published by Thienemann in 1866 for well-behaved children. Each letter sits beside hand-coloured pictures of animals, household objects and foods, arranged in framed panels on a cream ground. The pictures are plain, naive and clearly drawn, with warm earthy colour and little shading, useful for a designer seeking a nineteenth-century vernacular illustration style for teaching or nursery-themed work.
