Waidmanns Struwwelpeter

Charles, Bessler · 1907 · Kühn (Selbstverlag) · 14 pictures

Waidmanns Struwwelpeter is a 1907 German picture book published by Kühn, self-published, with verse and colour illustrations parodying the Struwwelpeter tradition around hunting (Jagd). The pictures are hand-coloured lithographs in flat, bold colour with simple outlines, panels framed by text blocks, and comic caricatured hunters, dogs and animals. A designer could take from them the clear narrative panel layout, the saturated primary palette on cream paper, and the bold cartoon figure style of early twentieth-century German comic books.
