The article compares Сarl Friedrich Lauckhardt's Illustrated Book for Observation and Instruction (Leipzig 1857–1860) with John Amos Comenius’s Orbis sensualium pictus (Nuremberg 1658) and Konstantin Ushinsky’s Children's World and Reader (St. Petersburg 1861). The main line of comparison regards the ways one phenomenon – the city – was presented in the three books. The authors inquire into the ways Lauckhard, Comenius and Ushinsky viewed and demonstrated to children the city and the urban in general as opposed to the village and the countryside. The comparison comprises practices presented as constituting the urban life; points of view the textbook authors chose to see and to show the city "from within" and "from without", and whether the concepts of the urban changed over time and space like the contents of educational literature did.
