Blüthen und Früchte : Freundliche Spende für liebe Kinder in 118 Erzählungen ; mit 8 fein color. Bildern
An 1851 German children's storybook, Blüthen und Früchte, a gift of 118 tales for dear children, published by Nitzschke and written by A. Hilberth, with eight finely hand-coloured plates. The pictures show mid-nineteenth-century middle-class domestic and village scenes with children in plaid and red clothing, dressed men in frock coats and top hats, and modest interiors and townscapes, rendered in soft, flat colour with thin outlines that a designer might borrow for vintage costume or period storytelling layouts.
