Frontispiece "Mutterliebe" is an engraving drawn and engraved by J.B. Scholl. In the engraving is "I.B.Scholl MDCCCLIX" (ie J B Scholl 1859), probably when Scholl did the image.

This work went through a number of editions, but the only edition noted in OCLC in Mainz by C. G. Kunze is the second edition in 1873 with 114 pages. The current edition is probably later, with more pages although one German bookseller dates it to 1854.

A collection of 104 children's song lyrics without musical notation. Text in German script. Dated before 1885 based on Kunze's successor Jacoby.
