Staberls Reiseabenteuer in München
A hand-coloured German picture book from 1894 by Eduard Ille, telling the travel adventures of Staberl in Munich through comic illustrated sequences with animal characters. The pictures show dogs and cats dressed in 19th-century clothes, acting out a series of scenes such as a street procession, a courtroom, and a domestic mishap. A designer could draw on their bold outlines, flat colour washes, and humorous anthropomorphic costume detail.
