[Fünfzig] 50 Fabeln u. Bilder aus der Jugendwelt

Corrodi, Wilhelm · 1840 · Friedrich Schulthess · 29 pictures

This 1840 Zürich picture book by Wilhelm Corrodi, published by Friedrich Schulthess, presents fifty fables and images for young readers, with each numbered plate sitting on an otherwise blank page. The small lithographs show children at play, a seated father with a child, a snowy winter group and a girl beside a well, drawn in soft grey tones with simple outlines. A designer might borrow the naive, gently narrative staging of domestic scenes and the open, uncluttered page layout with its centred plate numbers.
