Spiegelbilder für kleine Knaben : ein Lesebuch zur Erweckung eines sittlichen Verhaltens
Spiegelbilder für kleine Knaben is an 1850 German reading primer published by Fechner, meant to teach young boys good conduct through pictured examples of boys at work and at leisure. The hand-coloured plates show boys in different trades and dress, from a farm lad with a broom and a woodcutter with logs to city boys and a young gentleman in red frock coat, offering a designer a clear record of mid-nineteenth-century German costume and rural and urban scenes with simple, legible figure poses.
