Neues Unterrichtsbuch in Frag und Antwort : für die Jugend, und den gemeinen Mann, besonders in der Schweiz : über die wichtigsten Dinge in möglichster Kürze
A catechism-style instruction book in question and answer form by Johann Jakob Frey, printed in 1802 by the Diethische Buchdruckerey for young readers and ordinary people in Switzerland. Its pictures are small black-and-white woodcut ornaments of flower bouquets, baskets, and garlands on pedestals, used as decorative tailpieces. A designer could take from them the compact, rustic vocabulary of early nineteenth-century vignette ornament for borders and dividers.
