Das schönste von allen ABC'n : für die, die's Lesen schon verstehn, für wohlgerath'ne, erwachs'ne Kinder, es macht den Kopf und das Herz gesünder
An 1830 German alphabet picture book (Fibel) published by Hoffmann und Campe in Hamburg, written by August Lewald and illustrated by Johann Peter Lyser for literate, grown-up readers rather than young children. Its woodcut-style plates pair each letter with a fanciful, satirical scene of figures, animals and objects, showing how a designer can build an allegorical alphabet where each letter's image carries a witty, narrative punchline in a tight grid of framed panels.
