Geschichten und Märchen für Kinder v. 6-12 Jahren : mit 4 colorirten Bildern

Dröse, A · 1850 · Verlag von August Riese · 5 pictures

A children's storybook of tales and fairy stories for readers aged six to twelve, written by A. Dröse and published in 1850 by Verlag von August Riese, with four hand-coloured plates. The pictures are small, framed, pastel-tinted engravings of rural scenes, a crowned rider, a sleeping woodcutter and animal fables, giving a designer a clear sense of mid-nineteenth-century German picture-book composition with simple figures, open landscapes and soft watercolour-like colour.
