Die Missionskinder : ein Weihnachts- & Neujahrsgeschenk
A German-language children's book from 1841 by Johann Linder, published by F. Schneider, offered as a Christmas and New Year gift to young readers about mission children. The four plates are lithographs with a plain, documentary style: one shows a mission family with a monkey and a boa-like snake in a Caribbean setting, another a shipwreck with waving sailors, a third a schoolyard game with children, and the fourth a hand-coloured ship's deck with crew and cargo. A designer could draw on their clear, sequential staging of figures and tropical or seafaring props for narrative scenes.
