Abeze- und Lesebuch : Mit vier und zwanzig Kupfern

Campe, Joachim Heinrich, Junge, G, Arndt, Wilhelm · 1830 · Schulbuchhandlung · 24 pictures

This German alphabet and reading primer from 1830, issued by the Schulbuchhandlung with copperplate engravings by Junge and Arndt after Joachim Heinrich Campe's text, was made for schoolchildren learning letters. Its pictures pair each letter with a small framed animal or object scene above and a hand-coloured comic vignette below, with plain outlines, flat fills and simple landscape settings a designer could borrow for children's graphics.
