Above: Chapter 10. The only example I've seen of this piece snowed. The inset shows a 1920s or 30s Hertwig catalog picture.

Left: Chapter 10. Seesawing, snowball-throwing babies. Right: Chapter 15. Disgruntled mushroom supports two swinging elves and one playing a concertina

Chapter 5. Two early snow babies ride an oversized sled. Notice the beautifully painted and fired faces and the muted colors.

Chapter 2. Two pieces made by Galluba and Hoffman. a. Two children intent on protecting doves in the snow. The children wear "blue snow" clothing. b. Same boy, dressed in pastels, photographed from a different angle. The new book shows Gallubas in five different finishes. ONLY the example on the left is the elusive Blue Snow.
