Das lustige ABC : ein Bilderbuch für artige Kinder : mit 170 Originalzeichnungen und Versen

Lipps, Friedrich · 1886 · Emil Hänselmann · 25 pictures

Das lustige ABC is an 1886 German alphabet picture book by Friedrich Lipps, published by Emil Hänselmann for well-behaved children, with 170 original drawings and verses. Each letter page pairs colour vignettes of children, animals and everyday scenes with rhyming German captions and large decorated initials. A designer might take from it the lively nineteenth-century colour lithograph style, the playful pairing of child figures with animals, and the ornate red and blue display letters.
