Kindlein's erster Freund : eine unverwüstliche Bildergabe auf Leinewand mit 64 schön colorirten Bildern
Kindlein's erster Freund is a German picture book for small children, printed and hand-coloured in 1860 by the publisher Zeh with verses by Herrmann Hönncher, sold as an indestructible linen-backed gift book. Its four-panel pages pair crudely coloured scenes of children, father and daughter, horses, animals and seasons with short rhymed captions in German, showing a bold, flat, folk-print style that suggests simple storytelling blocks, nursery imagery, and charming naive colour for a designer.
