Eine Kätzchengeschichte : mit 6 illuminirten Bildern

Hoppe-Seyler, Amanda · 1848 · Winckelmann & Söhne · 4 pictures

A hand-coloured children's picture book, a kitten story by Amanda Hoppe-Seyler published in Berlin by Winckelmann & Söhne in 1848 for young readers. The four plates are rotated on the page and show a girl in a red dress and blue hat, a woman in a long skirt at a garden or village doorway, a girl with a flower basket by a fence, and a seated lady with attendants in a pale green gown. Their soft watercolour tints and simple outlines suit designers wanting mid-nineteenth-century German domestic scenes.
