Die Schule der Erfahrung : eine Erzählung
A hand-coloured German children's storybook of 1847, written by Rosalie Koch and published by Baumgärtner's Buchhandlung, presumably for young readers learning moral lessons from its tale. Its two plates show boys in a wooded meadow, one in a fight with a companion while a dog watches and a bird lies on the grass, the other a boy sprawled under a tree with a jug while another boy with a stick looks on. The bold, flat colour and clear gestures suit a designer studying how figures are staged in narrative scenes, with simple tree framing and sharp caption lettering in the lower margin.
