Kleine Bilder

1840 · 1 picture

Kleine Bilder is a single printed sheet of small coloured picture cards, issued by Creuzbauer and Co. of Magdeburg around 1840 as an early picture-vocabulary aid for German children. Its grid of roughly a hundred labelled everyday objects in flat, hand-coloured woodcut style, with bold outlines and simple palette, offers a designer a ready model for compact icon sets, labelled pictograms, and the naive vernacular illustration of nineteenth-century German print.
