Geschichtenbuch für Kinder mittleren Alters : mit 12 bunten Bildern
A German children's storybook of 1880 by Franz Straessle, published by Nitzschke and aimed at middle-aged children, with twelve colour illustrations. The pictures are hand-coloured lithographs of village scenes with children, a mother at a doorway, a boy playing with a toy cart by a fire, and a schoolroom lesson. A designer might take their warm, lightly outlined period palette and their staged narrative groupings of figures.
