Marie Luischen's Luftfahrt : Ein modernes Märchen mit Bildern
Marie Luischen's Luftfahrt is a 1909 German children's picture book, a modern fairy tale in verse by Annie Bühler, published by the Polygraphisches Institut in Zurich. The pictures follow a girl and a gentleman drifting in a balloon basket past cherubs, cloud giants and a town below, drawn in flat, outlined colour with decorative borders. A designer might take its airy, storybook palette and framed page layouts as a model for whimsical flat illustration.
