Der kleine Guckkasten oder Anekdoten für die Jugend zur Unterhaltung und Übung des Scharfsinns : Mit 6 illuminirten Kupfern
A hand-coloured German anecdote book for young readers, published around 1835 and offered as a children's amusement and exercise in wit, with six illuminated copper-plate prints. The scenes are small genre vignettes of interiors, a roadside encounter and a parade-ground moment, drawn with clean outlines and flat washes of red, green and yellow. A designer might borrow their simple staging, costume colour and compact figure groupings for period-styled illustration.
