Reynard the Fox
Illustrations from Reinecke Fuchs, circa 1880 via a German library. The watercolors are by Heinrich Leutemann, working close to the style of Wilhelm von Kaulbach's famous versions. (The fox is anatomically-correct in both versions!)

Germany, c. 1890, Mosaic game with about 160 geometrical wooden color bricks..."Lacking 1 brick."
I've been coming across a lot of interesting artifacts while researching German/Austrian/Swiss children's books for this Kinderbuch series.
