Sittengemälde in rührenden Erzählungen und Geschichten für Herz und Gemüth, der Kindheit und Jugend : mit 4 illuminirten Kupfern
An 1829 German illustrated children's storybook titled Sittengemälde, published by J. A. Schlossers Buch- und Kunsthandlung and offering moral tales for the heart and mind of children and young people. Its four hand-coloured copperplate engravings show scenes of rural walks, a garden, a kneeling figure at a wall, and a lone boy with an elderly man. A designer might take from them the soft flat palette of early nineteenth-century hand colouring, with pale washes over fine line work and sheltered woodland settings.
