Hymnen für Kinder
Hymnen für Kinder is a German hymn collection for children, written by Thekla von Gumpert and illustrated by Ludwig Richter, published in Berlin in 1846 by Alexander Duncker, the royal court bookseller. The pictures are small wood engravings of rural family life, gardens, woods and village scenes, with decorative vignettes and borders framing the verses. A designer might take their calm pastoral compositions, figure groupings, and framed vignette layouts as models for storybook or nature-themed illustration.
