Der Tochter erstes Buch : ein Buchstabir- und Lesebuch ; Mit 8 col. Kupferstichen

1840 · Hasselberg · 7 pictures

A German alphabet and reading primer for young girls, published by Hasselberg in 1840 and illustrated with eight hand-coloured copperplate engravings. The pictures pair each letter in blackletter capitals with a small coloured vignette of an everyday object or figure, labelled in German, and framed pages show a girl at a desk and a girl kneeling in prayer within floral and scrollwork borders, offering designers a compact model for combining ornate frames with simple labelled icons.
