Allerlei lustige Bilder für brave Kinder

1840 · Halder & Crönberger · 8 pictures

A German children's picture book of 1840 published by Halder & Crönberger, offering hand-coloured woodcut scenes with short rhymed verses for well-behaved children. The four pictures show a magic lantern show, a menagerie visit, a walk with a dog and a rabbit hunt, all in naive, flat colour. A designer could draw on their simple, lively folk-print style, with bold outlines, clear figure poses and bright flat colour blocks.
