Die Großmutter unter ihren Enkeln : Kindergeschichten mit Bildern

Reiche, Caroline, von · 1860 · Agentur des Rauhen Hauses · 26 pictures

A German children's storybook of 1860 by Caroline von Reiche, published by the Agentur des Rauhen Hauses, written as grandmother's tales for her grandchildren. Its pictures are small black-and-white wood engravings in a plain, sentimental style, with simple scenes of village children at play, a woman walking past graves, a family travelling with trunks, and a girl going to church. A designer could draw on their clean line work and the homely, rural domestic settings for vintage-styled picture-book or folk-tale layouts.
