Kinderfreuden : Ein A.B.C. Buch für gute Knaben mit 22 illum. Kupfern
Kinderfreuden is an 1830 German alphabet primer for well-behaved boys, published by the Egli'sche Buchhandlung and illustrated with 22 hand-coloured copper engravings. The pictures show boys at play and at trades in three-tier panels, each captioned in German with a short title. A designer could take their naive, flat colour and tidy stacked framing as a model for simple period vignettes of childhood games and occupations.
