Genre-Bilder : Erfunden und lithographirt von Th[eodor] Hosemann

Hosemann, Theodor · 1845 · Verlag von Meyer u. Hofmann · 18 pictures

Genre-Bilder is an 1845 German book of hand-coloured lithographs invented and drawn by Theodor Hosemann and published by Verlag von Meyer und Hofmann, showing everyday scenes of ordinary people. Its pictures are loose, sketchy and tinted in soft washes of ochre, rose and grey, with figures set in simple landscape or street settings; a designer might borrow the rustic costume detail, the casual poses and the warm muted palette for period or folk-themed work.
