Die erzählende Mutter im Kreise ihrer Kinder : Ein Versuch zur ersten Bildung des Verstandes und Erweckung sittlichen Gefühls ; mit 12 Kupfertafeln
A German children's storybook of 1817 by Johann Gottlieb Ziehnert, published by Carl August Friese, meant to teach young minds reason and moral feeling through a mother's tales. Its copperplate engravings show genteel and comic scenes of ordinary people in gardens, streets and interiors, with lively figure groupings, costume detail and simple architectural backdrops a designer could use for period vignettes and narrative compositions.
