Schreiber, 1838

Footnotes

Rare children's picture book, showing the annual cycle of activities in farming and housekeeping and the relevant flora and fauna for each season. Influenced by the pedagogical approach of Pestalozzi, the work offered "rich material for instruction in all parts of natural history," allowing the student to learn "the outward form of things which he does not always have the opportunity to see in nature" (Preface). WorldCat records copies only in Berlin and Princeton, the latter describing it as "The rarest work of 'Anschauungsunterricht' [Object Lesson], bibliographically unknown in this form."

Provenance: "A Keepsake for the dear affectionate little Caroline from her friend M. O'Donel, Geneva 1842," inscription on front free endpaper.
