Mim Chindli : es Buech, wo nüd lad, für die ganz Chline ; Mit 9 farbige Bildere
A Swiss German picture book of 1890 published by Rascher & Cie in Zurich, titled as a book for the very youngest children and printed with nine colour plates. The four plates show everyday household objects rendered in soft gouache-like colour on a tan ground: an egg in a cup beside a spoon and a dish of butter, a brass candlestick with matches, sausage and cheese on a plate with a fork and knife, and a decanter, glass and soap. A designer could take from them the simple, uncluttered still-life arrangements and the warm muted palette on kraft-toned paper.
