Heitere Stunden : Erzählungen zur Unterhaltung und Belehrung für die Jugend, Mit 8 colorirten Bildern
Heitere Stunden is a German illustrated story collection for young readers, published by Riese in 1860 with eight coloured plates by Theodor Hosemann, Adolph von Menzel and Eduard Ille. The pictures are small rural and domestic genre scenes, some hand-coloured, drawn in a crisp wood-engraved line that a designer could use for vintage narrative vignettes with clear figure groupings and simple folk costume.
