Welt-ABC
A German alphabet picture book, the Welt-ABC, published in Stuttgart in 1898 by Verlag von Gustav Weise and written by Walter Zweigle for young children learning letters. Each letter page gathers colour-printed vignettes of animals, costumed figures, objects and landscapes around a large decorated initial, with German captions below; the varied costume and animal studies offer a designer ready references for historical dress, exotic fauna and framed vignette layouts.
