Neujahrsgeschenk für die Jugend auf das Jahr 1836
A German-language New Year's gift book for young readers, published in 1836 by Fischer and credited to Joseph J. Pfyffer zu Neueck. Its pictures are small hand-coloured or black-and-white prints: a medieval town scene with a tower and crowd, an ornate decorative border, a sprig of foliage beside a lyre and urn, and boys building a snow figure in an alpine village. A designer might draw on the compact vignette style, the ornamental frame, and the lively crowd scenes for period-flavoured layouts.
