Der kleine Biograph : eine Sammlung von Erzählungen aus dem Leben kleiner Kinder, zur moralischen Bildung. Mit illuminierten Kupfern
Der kleine Biograph is a German moral storybook of 1818, published by Wilhelm Rein und Comp., collecting tales from the lives of small children for moral education. Its hand-coloured copperplate illustrations show German townspeople in period dress in garden, street and domestic scenes, with short captions beneath; a designer could draw on their gentle, staged poses and costume detail for historical or period-themed work.
