[picture: Front Cover, Family Book]

Some pictures from Illustrirtes Familienbuch zur Unterhaltung & Belehrung häuslicher Kreise, which is, Illustrated family book for entertainment and instruction in domestic circles, by Lloyd Oesterreichischen. There is no imprint page and no date on the title page, but this is volume Five; it seems there were 15 volumes in all, from 1851 to 1865. The magazine would have been issued monthly, so this volume represents a year, probably from Summer 1857.

Pages are approximately 32cm, or a little over a foot, in height.
