Mein schönes Bilderbuch
Mein schönes Bilderbuch is a German picture book for young children, published in 1915 with rhymed German verses set beside chromolithographed scenes of children at play. Its pictures show a girl pulling a doll carriage, a boy watering flowers, and boys with a toy cannon and a wooden fortress, all in soft, flat, warm colour. A designer might take its simple outlined figures, pastel palette and clear block-and-verse layout as a model for vintage children's illustration.
