Die kleinen Enkel am Knie des erzählenden Grossvaters ; mit 17 illuminirten Kupfern

Blumauer, Karl · 1837 · Verlag von Carl Neumann · 10 pictures

A German children's picture book of 1837 by Karl Blumauer, published by Carl Neumann, with seventeen hand-coloured copper engravings for young readers. Its pages pair small framed scenes with a moral caption beneath each, showing everyday rural and village life in soft, flat colour. A designer might borrow the compact paired-panel layout, the naive figure drawing, and the muted period palette of greens, blues and ochre.
