Der Tante Sophie ABC : 25 Lichtdruckbilder nach Originalzeichnungen
An alphabet picture book for children, made by Swiss illustrator Sophie Schäppi and published by Huber in 1893, with its images reproduced as photolithographs from original drawings. The pictures are fine pen-and-ink line drawings of small children at play and at home, set inside decorative frames of climbing vines, flowers, and ribbon banners that carry the letter words. A designer might borrow the delicate botanical borders, the ribbon scrollwork, and the simple contour style for a vintage nursery or children's alphabet design.
