Lottrie Bilder
Lottrie Bilder is a German lottery sheet printed in Magdeburg in 1855, a grid of small hand-coloured pictures with a caption under each, made for playing a game of chance. The single sheet shows a dense array of everyday objects, animals and tools in flat, bright colours, with the German names printed beneath, giving a designer a compact catalogue of mid-nineteenth-century folk icons and simple object silhouettes to adapt.
