Kalender für die Jugend und ihre Freunde, auf das Jahr 1843
A Swiss German children's almanac for the year 1843, published by Tribelhorn and written by Johann Jakob Reithard and Jeremias Gotthelf for young readers and their families. Its engravings show Swiss village life: a crowded market square of townsfolk in tall-gabled streets, a wooden farmhouse with a wagon and a gathering of people, and interiors with figures and furniture. A designer could take the crisp line hatching, the vernacular half-timbered architecture, and the lively crowd scenes as models for historical period illustration.
