Warnungs-Tafeln. Oder die Gefahren der jugendlichen Unbedachtsamkeit bey Spielen und Zeitvertreiben auf 24 Kupfertafeln dargestellt

1811 · bey Karl Tauchnitz · 14 pictures

A German children's cautionary picture book of 1811, published by Karl Tauchnitz, presenting 24 copper-plate scenes of accidents caused by careless boys and girls at play and pastimes. Each plate is hand-coloured in a small framed pair, with a plain roman numeral beneath, and the scenes show slapstick mishaps such as a gander chasing children, a boy knocked into a fountain, and a girl's dress catching fire near a stove, giving a designer clear, readable staging of cause and comic consequence.
