Der Mann im Korbe, oder: Kann man auch Trauben lesen von den Dornen? : Eine Erzählung
Der Mann im Korbe is an 1849 German children's story by Thekla von Gumpert, published by Ferdinand Hirt's Verlag with illustrations by Ferdinand Koska. The colour plate shows an older man in a wicker-basket wheeled carriage beneath a birch tree, with a boy kneeling beside him and a dog asleep in the grass. The scene's soft watercolour-like tinting and rural garden setting suggest gentle, domestic storytelling for a designer working on pastoral or nostalgic imagery.
