Orbis Pictus

It was the first widely used children's textbook with pictures, published first in Latin and German and later republished in many European languages.

[2] The revolutionary[3] book quickly spread around Europe and became the defining children's textbook for centuries.

The book is divided into chapters illustrated by copperplate prints, which are described in the accompanying text.

[citation needed] Orbis Pictus had a long-lasting influence on children's education.

[4] In 1930 Otto Neurath claimed that images in Gesellschaft und Wirtschaft constituted a new Orbis Pictus.
