Das Stammbuch der Mutter : Erzählungen für Kinder von 10 bis 14 Jahren. Von Mary Osten <[d.i.] Emilie Eyler>. Mit 9 colorirten Bildern von Th[eodor] Hosemann

Osten, Mary, Hosemann, Theodor · 1863 · Winckelmann und Söhne · 10 pictures

A German children's storybook of 1863 by Mary Osten (pseudonym of Emilie Eyler), published by Winckelmann und Söhne, written for readers aged ten to fourteen and illustrated with nine hand-coloured plates by Theodor Hosemann. The four pictures show a boy with a walking stick pointing ahead, a boy sketching beside a river with a town behind, a girl with a flower basket at a doorway, and a girl feeding chickens and doves in a yard. Their soft watercolour tints and tidy genre scenes suggest gentle, domestic characters a designer could adapt for vintage childhood motifs.
