Bildereien zur Lust und Lehre für das frühere Alter unserer Kinder
A German children's picture book of 1829, published by Friedrich August Leo, with text by Johann Andreas Christian Löhr and illustrations by Christian Gottfried Heinrich Geißler, intended for the early years of young children. Its hand-coloured plates show common trades and social types in rural village settings, with a sower scattering seed, travellers greeting one another, and a figure pulling a cart of faggots beside a barefoot boy. A designer might take from them the simple, flat staging of figures against pale backgrounds, and the bright red waistcoats and yellow coats used as clear colour accents.
