Unterhaltungen eines kleinen Mädchens mit seiner Puppe : mit 12 kolorierten Bildern
This is a German children's picture book of 1836, published by Winckelmann, with twelve hand-coloured plates, and the record credits Sophie de Senneterre de Renneville and Karl Gustav Winckelmann. The plates show a small girl and her doll in everyday domestic and street scenes, with bright flat watercolour-like colour over soft pencil shading. A designer might take from them the simple costume and period domestic detail of early nineteenth-century Germany and the naive, tidy staging of figures in shallow settings.
