Lebenskunde. Ein Buch für Knaben und Mädchen is a book about life directed at boys and girls aged 11 to 15, written by German educationist, philosopher and pacifist Friedrich Wilhelm Foerster (1869–1966). It was first published by Reimer, Berlin, in 1904. The typeface used on the covers of various editions issued between 1904 and 1920, both in hardback and paperback, probably is one of the German versions of Caxton Black, a revival of the type used by William Caxton around 1490. These included Altdeutsch by Bauer & Co, Angelsächsisch by AG für Schriftgießerei u. M., and Caxton by Flinsch.
Hardcover edition, 1912, with golden embossed letters.
