Bubis Freund : ein sehr lehrreiches Bilderbuch mit Text
Bubis Freund is a German picture book of 1900 by Lothar Meggendorfer, with rhymed verse set beside coloured illustrations, aimed at young children and presented as instructive. Its pictures show a boy named Bubi with a bottle, a mother, a bearded doctor and a dog, drawn in bold outlines with flat colour and decorative red initials. A designer might take the bold outline-and-flat-colour style, the framed vignette layouts with lettered text panels, and the late nineteenth-century advertising tone around the bottle.
