Hand-Fibel für den Lese- und Schreibunterricht
A German primer, the Hand-Fibel for reading and writing lessons, compiled by Wilhelm Bernhard Theele and published by Wohlgemuth in 1864 for schoolchildren learning to read. The small, grainy woodcut-style pictures show rural and everyday scenes: a man in a wide-brimmed hat walking with a bundle, a figure before a fenced town skyline, two workers carrying tools over their shoulders, and a dog beside a rail fence, offering simple, rustic motifs for designers seeking naive, folk-style imagery.
