Buntes Bilderbuch für die ganz Kleinen
Buntes Bilderbuch für die ganz Kleinen is a German picture book for very young children, made by Lothar Meggendorfer and Carl Offterdinger and published by Verlag von Wilh. Nitzschke in 1886. Its pages are sheets of single, separately outlined objects and animals in flat colour on a tan ground, arranged in grids with no background scenery. A designer could take from them the clear, unshaded object-to-word teaching layout, with each item isolated and easy to read at a glance.
