Die Wichtel-Männchen is a German picture book for children of all ages, drawn and written by Lothar Meggendorfer and published by Braun & Schneider in Munich around 1890. Its pictures show small pointed-hat gnomes riding moles and otters, fighting dragonflies, and tending a cauldron, in flat hand-coloured lithography on cream paper with short rhyming captions, offering a designer loose, humorous character scenes and a warm, folk-inspired palette.
