Die gute Tochter : ein Lese- und Bilderbuch für Mädchen
Die gute Tochter is a German picture-reader for girls, published in 1812 by Carl August Friese, pairing a scene of domestic and street life above with a row of household tools and objects below. Its hand-coloured etchings show a young woman's everyday duties: selling and shopping in the street, cooking at the hearth, serving food to children, and tending poultry at a farmyard. A designer could take the tidy stacked still-life arrangements of utensils, baskets and jugs, with their flat colour and clear outlines, as models for compositions that combine a vignette with an object display.
