Lustige Bilder aus Afrika

Graetz, Theodor · 1892 · 1 picture

A late nineteenth-century German picture sheet by Theodor Graetz, published in 1892 as part of the Munich Bilderbogen series, meant for children and filled with comic scenes of Africa. The page holds about a dozen small framed vignettes with German verse captions beneath them, showing monkeys, elephants, and European hunters in exaggerated, humorous poses. A designer might take its loose, sketchy linework and its boxed panel layout for playful editorial spot illustrations.
