Bilder-Geschichtchen für kleine Kinder : Mit 48 von Michael Johannes Voltz componirten Bildern nebst sinnigen kindlichen Reinem
A German picture book of short rhymed stories for small children, illustrated with 48 pictures composed by Michael Johannes Voltz and published by J. F. Schreiber in 1870. The pages are hand-coloured, each showing four small framed scenes of animals, children and hunters above and below rhyming verses in black type on a cream ground. A designer might take from them the simple, flat, tidy vignette layout, with each scene sitting on the page with its caption, and the warm muted palette of hand-coloured nineteenth-century children's illustration.
