Schatten- und Lichtbilder : ein moralisches Bilderbuch für die liebe Jugend ; mit erklärenden Versen
Schatten- und Lichtbilder is a German moral picture book for young readers, drawn by Moritz von Schwind and published by J. F. Schreiber in 1877 with explanatory verses. The four pictures show hand-coloured scenes of boys and children with fairy-tale and folk-story figures, each in a small framed plate on a plain cream page. A designer could take the clean vignette framing, the saturated flat colour, and the naive storybook staging of figures against landscape and architecture.
