Des Onkels Reisemappe : eine Bildersammlung zur Belehrung & Unterhaltung ; für gute Kinder ; mit 12 fein illuminierten Bildertafeln
This is an 1840 German picture album, Des Onkels Reisemappe, published by Renner for good children, with twelve finely hand-coloured plates. The four plates shown are captioned in German, French and English and depict travel scenes in Algeria, Cairo and Spain. Designers can take from them the bold flat colour, clear outlines and busy crowd groupings typical of 1840s lithographic travel illustration.
