Nesthäkchens Zeitvertreib : ein Bilderbuch für unsere Kleinsten
A German picture book of 1888 by Georg Christian Dieffenbach with illustrations by Viktor Paul Mohn, published by Heinsius for the very youngest children. The pages pair chromolithographed scenes of mothers, toddlers, cats and dogs with rhymed German verse set in a printed panel. A designer could take from them the soft, muted colour palette and the cosy domestic compositions, with a child-centred framing of figures against plain interiors and gardens.
