Der grosse Bildersaal
Der grosse Bildersaal is a German picture book for children, published by Albert Wagner in Berlin, with hand-coloured lithographs on sheets of cards. Its pictures show children at play in gardens and courtyards, surrounded by small vignettes of everyday objects such as a palette, a book, toy horses, brooms and a dustpan. A designer could take the boxed compositions, the warm period palette and the clustered small objects as a model for layouts that group several motifs around one central scene.
