Piepser, der Kanarienvogel, Schnurr, das Kätzchen, und Klein Mariechen : ein buntes Bilderbuch mit lustigen Reimen
A German illustrated children's picture book of rhyming verse, written by Sophie von Adelung and published in 1880 by Julius Hoffmann, aimed at young readers. The pictures are chromolithographed scenes of children at play and a stern father leading children along a path, each with a verse block set in black-letter type; a designer could take the bright flat colour, lively poses and simple village backdrops as a model for period storybook art.
