[Monatsbilder]
A German illustrated series of twelve hand-coloured monthly scenes, published by Campe in 1820 and attributed to Johann Michael Voltz with engraving by Johann Nussbiegel, depicting the rural year for a general audience. The pictures show farm labour, harvest, and domestic life across the seasons, with captioned verses in German beneath each scene, offering a designer clear period costume, rustic interiors, and calendar-style compositions to draw on.
