Die vier Jahreszeiten : ein humoristisches Kinderbuch ; mit 17 Bildern in Farbendruck

Reinhardt, Carl · 1883 · Carl Flemming · 11 pictures

A humorous German children's picture book from 1883 by Carl Reinhardt, published by Carl Flemming, with 17 colour-printed plates. Each page pairs a German verse with a hand-coloured scene, such as a weather prophet with a rooster, a moonlit street of rowdy night-watchmen, a Christmas gathering, and a rainbow over a garden. A designer could take its bright, flat, naive colour blocks and small comic street and domestic vignettes for seasonal or folk-style decoration.
