Im Freien : Zwanzig Originalzeichnungen
Im Freien is a German picture book of twenty original drawings by Oscar Pletsch, engraved and published by Hegel & Schade in 1912, with text by Julius Lohmeyer, aimed at children. The pictures are small, shaded wood-engraved scenes of village children playing outdoors, with trees, cottages and fences setting out the rural background. A designer could take their simple, warm domestic staging and the rough engraved line for rustic children's illustration.
