Der Tante Sophie Bilderbuch
A German-language children's picture book of 1885 by Sophie Schäppi and Louise Ziegler, published by Moritz Kieschke for young readers. Its pages show small line-drawn scenes of children at play, framed by delicate botanical borders of vines, flowers and leaves with verse set beneath each picture. A designer might take the spare ink linework, the nested plant-and-vine frames and the simple, airy composition of the figures against blank paper.
