Der höfliche Schüler
Der höfliche Schüler is an 1835 German schoolbook of numbered lessons, published by Johann Velten, meant for young pupils learning polite conduct. Its small lithographed plates show boys and adults in domestic, church and street settings, each captioned with a lesson number; a designer might borrow their soft grey tonal shading, tidy captions and genteel period costume for historical or educational layouts.
