Kleine Geschichten und Erzählungen für gute Kinder : mit Kupfern und einer Schreibvorschrift
A German children's storybook of moral tales, published in 1822 by C. D. Werner, a copper-plate printer, for good children, with engraved plates and a handwriting exercise. Its copper engravings show domestic interiors with tidy rooms, four-poster beds and furniture, and scenes of children behaving well or badly, with short German captions beneath each plate. A designer could draw on their clean linework, crosshatched shading and the period interiors for a historical, instructional look.
