Wie Friedrich, Leopold, Auguste und Mathilde Buchstabiren und Lesen lernten : ein A. B. C., Buchstabir- und Lese-Büchlein ; mit 14 illuminierten Kupferstichen und 1 Titelbild von W. Jury
An 1820 German primer, Wie Friedrich, Leopold, Auguste und Mathilde Buchstabiren und Lesen lernten, written and illustrated by Wilhelm Jury and published by J. G. Hasselberg, teaches children spelling and reading through fourteen hand-coloured copperplate engravings. The pictures show small rustic scenes of everyday German village and farm life, with figures in regional dress, a donkey with a load, a dog, and a horse at a cart, rendered in simple outlines with flat, bright watercolour that a designer could draw on for folk-style costume and rural motifs.
