Peter : die Folgen der Unwissenheit ; eine Geschichte für Kinder ; mit 4 Kupfern
Peter, or the Consequences of Ignorance: a children's story in German by Johann Georg Tobler, published in 1855 by Verlag von Scheitlin und Zollikofer with four copperplate engravings. The three pictures show a boy in plaid trousers caught in comic misadventures: beating a flock of hens with a stick in a farmyard, startled in a woodland pool among fungi and a rearing creature, and chased by a dog while a small child looks on from a garden. The hatched linework and tidy framed vignettes suggest a clear, cautionary model for narrative sequences in print.
