Hand-Fibel : Enthält: Elementar-Uebungen zum Lesen; poetische und prosaische Lesestücke; eine Sammlung biblischer Sprüche, die fünf Hauptstücke des christlichen Glaubens
A German primer of 1858 by Johann Otto Leopold Schulz, published by Oehmigke, meant for children learning to read and to absorb Christian teaching. Its pages show blackletter Fraktur alphabets with hand-drawn swash letters, and woodcut alphabet panels pairing each letter with an object such as a bird, lion, tree or peacock, a plain and dense school layout a designer could borrow for typographic specimens or pictorial alphabets.
