Bilder aus dem Kinderleben
A German children's picture book of 1886, published by Zeidler, with illustrations credited to Karl Hoede and F. Wilke for young readers. The engravings are framed in ornamental borders and show children at play, a boy posed in an oval vignette, and a woman reading in a garden, rendered in fine monochrome line. A designer might take the decorative frames, tidy line hatching, and the clean staged poses of nineteenth-century domestic scenes.
