Urians Reise um die Welt : Ein Bilderbuch für Kinder
A hand-coloured German picture book for children, Urians Reise um die Welt, published in 1860 by Joseph Scholz from verses by Matthias Claudius. Its pictures show a portly traveller in a plum coat and yellow waistcoat meeting figures from far-off lands, framed by cream borders of putti and foliage in pen-and-ink. A designer might take the engraved floral-and-cherub frame, the flat pastel colouring, and the stock comic poses of the traveller.
