Hundert Fabeln zur Unterhaltung und Belehrung für kleine Leser : mit vielen Bildern
A German illustrated collection of one hundred fables for young readers, published in 1840 by Verlag von August Riese, with many pictures. The woodcut scenes are hand-coloured in bright inks and sit above German verse and short moral captions. A designer could take from them the simple, bold framing of animal characters in rustic village and farm settings, with type set beneath each picture.
