Der Jugend Lieb' und Lust : dargestellt in Bildern aus den zwölf Monaten des Jahres ; ein neues ABC- und Bilderbuch als liebstes Geschenk für gute, fleißige Kinder
Der Jugend Lieb' und Lust is a German picture book of 1842 by Peter Carl Geissler, published by Zeh as an alphabet and picture book for diligent children, arranging scenes of daily life by the twelve months of the year. Its hand-coloured monthly plates each carry a rhyming verse printed beneath the picture, with figures in period costume set in gardens, streets and interiors. A designer might take from them the economical hand-coloured vignette format, with a single scene framed above a block of verse and a clear seasonal narrative told through small figures.
