Neue Silhouetten-Fibel für artige Kinder : im Original mit der Schere geschnitzt

Fröhlich, Karl · 1859 · Schroeder <Kaiser> · 21 pictures

A German silhouette primer for well-behaved children, cut by hand with scissors, published by Schroeder in 1859 and credited to Karl Fröhlich. Each alphabet page pairs a large black silhouette scene above rhyming verse with a row of small figures and an oval vignette below, showing animals, hunters, and everyday trades; a designer could take the crisp positive-negative cutwork, the dense black silhouettes against white, and the compact vignette arrangements for stencil or cutout motifs.
