Fabeln in Bildern : dargestellt für fleißige Kinder
A German children's fable picture book, Fabeln in Bildern, published by Scholz in 1840 for diligent children, with verse-and-picture pairings. Its hand-coloured lithographs show animals in a loose, naturalistic style with soft tonal shading and crosshatched backgrounds, offering a designer sturdy models for animal character poses, expressive faces and rustic, scribbled foliage in mid-nineteenth-century children's illustration.
