Die Wundergeschichte vom Schneiderlein, das fliegen wollt' und Kronprinz seyn : Mit hübschen Bildern allerlei
A Dresden publisher's 1860 German picture book by L. Kies, retelling the tale of the clever little tailor who wants to fly and become crown prince, aimed at children. Its four hand-coloured lithographs show the tailor on horseback in a forest, slumped beside a wine jug with a huntsman, drinking in a tavern, and riding a horse past tents with a red banner. The soft washed colours, plain outlines and small rhyming captions beneath each scene suggest a model for simple storybook layouts with a caption band.
