Der Geburtstag : Erzählungen, Mährchen, Fabeln, Gedichte und Spiele, für Kinder von 5 bis 10 Jahren ; Mit 8 illuminirten Abbildungen
A German children's miscellany of stories, fables, poems and games for readers aged five to ten, published in 1850 by Berendsohn and written by Angelika Skepsgardt, with eight hand-coloured plates. The four pictures are small, softly tinted scenes of middle-class children in interiors and street settings, each captioned with a line of German text beneath. A designer could draw on their muted watercolour palette, gentle domestic staging, and the clear, readable poses that carry each little narrative.
