Tempel der Weisheit und Tugend : eine Fabellese für die Jugend
Tempel der Weisheit und Tugend is an 1820 German fable reader for young children, written by Wilhelmine von Gersdorff and published by Wilhelm Lauffer. Its hand-coloured plates are numbered sets of small framed scenes, each a moral fable in woodcut-style line with flat watercolour tints, offering a designer loose, folk-like vignettes of animals, peasants and everyday trades in a naive narrative style.
