Ein Gang durch's Dörfchen
Ein Gang durch's Dörfchen is a German picture book of 1874, published by Dürr, with illustrations by Oscar Pletsch and text by Friedrich Oldenberg and Hermann Günther, made for young children. Its wood-engraved pictures show village mothers and children in rustic cottage gardens, with fences, trees and stone walls; a designer might borrow their simple, legible groupings and gentle domestic scenes for storybook or rural themes.
