Das Nationen-Bilderbuch für die wißbegierige Jugend : mit 23 gemalten Kupfern [von G. M. Kirn] und erklärender Beschreibung

Kirn, Georg Michael · 1835 · Fleischhauer · 23 pictures

A German picture book of national costumes, made by Georg Michael Kirn and published by Fleischhauer in 1835 for curious young readers. Its hand-coloured copper engravings each show one standing figure in regional dress, labelled by nation name beneath, with bold colour contrasts in blue coats, red sashes and patterned trousers that a designer could take as a palette of folk costume.
