Illustrirter Schweizerischer Jugendschatz : ein Kinderbuch zur Unterhaltung und Belehrung für das 4.-12. Altersjahr ; enth. kleinere und größere Kinderliedchen, Gebete ... in Mundart und Schriftsprache
An illustrated Swiss German children's book of songs, prayers and stories for ages four to twelve, compiled by Konrad Gachnang and published in 1893 by J. Meier-Merhardt. The four pictures are pen-and-ink sketches in a folk-tale manner: a boy watching a gnome at a well, a seated tabby cat, a girl reaching toward a Christmas tree ornament, and a boy tumbling beneath a tree with birds. A designer might borrow their loose, hatched line work and cream-paper warmth for storybook or heritage-style layouts.
