Gustavs und Malwina's Bilderschule
Gustavs und Malwina's Bilderschule is a German picture primer for children, compiled by Friedrich Philipp Wilmsen and Ludwig Meyer the younger and published by Amelang in Berlin in 1826. Its hand-coloured woodcut plates are numbered and arranged as object lessons, with each small scene showing a single everyday object, animal, trade or plant set against a simple ground with a few tufts of grass or a tree. A designer could borrow the naive, flat colour, the tidy grid of separate vignettes and the clear labelling of familiar things for teaching or children's graphics.
