Den Freundinnen der jungen Haushälterinn : eine Nachlese von dem Verfasser derselben
A German household-advice book of 1787 by Joseph Ignaz Zimmermann, printed and published by Joseph Aloys Salzmann, addressed to young women keeping house. Its four pictures are small woodcut tailpieces and headpieces: a flower basket draped over a striped table with garlands, a lyre wreathed in leaves and blossoms, a laurel-and-rose wreath tied with a ribbon bow, and a putto playing a lute among scrolling acanthus. A designer could draw on their compact, symmetrical arrangements of flowers, ribbons and foliage for decorative borders and vignettes.
