Bilderbuch für artige kleine Mädchen
A German picture book of rhymed verses with hand-coloured lithographs, published by Riese in 1875 for well-behaved little girls. Its scenes show domestic life in a tidy, sentimental style: girls helping with housework, playing with dolls, shopping at a counter, and walking in rain with an umbrella. A designer could draw on the bordered panel layouts, the captions set beneath each scene, and the soft pastel palette of the colouring.
