Mit fünf colorirten Kupfern : eine Weihnachtsgabe
An 1837 German children's picture book by Albert Ludwig Grimm, published by Julius Moritz Gebhardt, issued as a Christmas gift with five hand-coloured copper engravings. The pictures are small, naively drawn scenes of folk tales and fables, with figures in period costume set against simple outdoor backdrops. A designer might take their bright flat hand-colouring, bold outlines and storybook staging for illustrated narrative layouts and vintage print palettes.
