[Curiosa] (Bouda, Luise) Ausstechschule (Pin-pricking album) No place (likely German), sometime 19th century. 8vo. Pin-pricking album illustrated with 10 designs, some in color; with tissue guards. Contemporary red cloth accordian-style binding, dampstaining to front and rear covers; stamped in gilt; preumably in contemporary hand-made black tissue dust-jacket, remnants of paper label at center. Signature of Luise Bouda on front paste-down, and each design with additional inscriptions on verso, presumably by the same hand. Pin-prick drawing was a form of folk art in the 19th century, reaching the height of its popularity during the early to mid quarters of the century. This charming album features ten designs, ranging from geometrical patterns to more elaborate illustration of animals, fruit, household instruments, and a hunter.
