Die zwölf Monate I
A hand-coloured lithographic sheet from around 1825 titled Die zwölf Monate, showing scenes for the twelve months of the year in small framed vignettes, likely made for German-speaking children or a household print series. The vignettes are simple and clear: a sleigh ride in winter, a man with a scythe in summer, a plough team in spring and autumn, and a figure gathering fruit or wood in another month, each labelled with its month name. A designer could borrow the framed-medallion layout and the seasonal labelling for calendar or almanac work.
