Alphabet und Ziffern : französisch und deutsch erklärt zur angenehmen Erholung und Belehrung

1830 · Campe · 25 pictures

An 1830 German-French picture primer published by Campe, offering hand-coloured illustrated word pairs in French and German for readers seeking amusement and instruction. The pictures are small, whimsical scenes where each drawing illustrates a bilingual vocabulary entry, often with satirical caricature of soldiers, tradesmen, and fashionable figures. A designer might take from them the playful staging of letters as objects and the vivid, naive hand-colouring of 19th-century comic vignettes.
