Ein Tag aus dem Kinderleben : Bildern und Verse für die Kleinen
A late nineteenth-century German picture book, Ein Tag aus dem Kinderleben, with verses by Albert Steinkamp and illustrations by E. Voigt, published by Steinkamp in 1897 for young children. Its chromolithographic plates follow a child through the day, from breakfast and dressing to outings and bedtime, in warm colours framed by ornamental borders with German section headings such as Frühstück, Ausfahren and Ausgehen. A designer might take its framed vignettes, diamond and circular inset panels, and gentle domestic interiors as a model for layered, storybook-style page layouts.
