Der kluge Quökelhahn : Eine schöne Geschichte in Versen, für die lieben Kleinen. ; Mit 12 Bildern in Farbendruck nach Zeichnungen von Gustav Süs
An 1881 German children's picture book of verse, 'Der kluge Quökelhahn', by Johann Jeremias Kummer with colour-printed illustrations after drawings by Gustav Süs, published by Bartholomäus for young children. The pictures show a farmyard cast of roosters, hens, chicks, doves and a fox, with the German verse printed in a caption band beneath each scene. A designer could draw on the warm, naturalistic chromolithograph palette and the lively poultry poses for rustic, folk-style animal imagery.
