Das Glasmännchen : eine Erzählung für die Jugend ; mit 4 color. Bildern
Das Glasmännchen is a German children's story published in 1853 by Scheitlin, written by Otfrid Mylius and illustrated with four hand-coloured lithographs for young readers. The pictures show quiet domestic scenes in mid-nineteenth-century interiors, with a kneeling woman at a blue chair, a family gathered around a table, and a father carrying a child past a shop window. A designer might take the soft pastel colour, the layered interiors and the warm, sentimental tableau style from them.
