ABC in Bildern und Reimen für Kinder

1865 · 15 pictures

An illustrated German alphabet primer from 1865, a hand-coloured picture sheet pairing each letter in blackletter capitals with a rhyming verse and a scene of children at play or everyday village life. A designer could take its tidy paired-panel layout, bold red initials and simple genre scenes as a model for children's lettering and sequential storytelling.
