1870 · Löwensohn · 11 pictures

A German picture book of about 1870, published by Löwensohn, that pairs small hand-coloured woodcut scenes of animals, a sprouting plant, a monkey, a hat and a basket, with no text visible on these pages. The scenes are loosely framed and printed on cream paper with flat colour washes in yellow, green and red. A designer might borrow the naive, slightly off-register colour and the simple, uncluttered arrangement of single objects on a plain ground.
