Des Kindes Welt im Jahreslauf : Bilderbuch zur Erheiterung und Belehrung für Kinder von 5-9 Jahren
A German picture book from 1896 by Rasche and Ernst Hermann Walther, published by Verlag von Alexander Köhler, for children aged five to nine, arranged by the seasons of the year. Its pages pair black-and-white illustrations of children, animals and gardens with rhymed verses set in blackletter type. A designer could take from them the vignette layouts, where small round roundels and framed scenes sit beside text blocks, and the gentle outdoor naturalism of animals in cottage yards and hedgerows.
