Der Tolpatsch oder Kinder, nehmt ein Beispiel dran : eine lehrreiche Geschichte mit vielen bunten Bildern
A German illustrated children's picture book of 1866, published by Zieger and written with pictures by Gustav Theodor Drobisch, meant to teach young readers through the comic misadventures of a clumsy boy. Each hand-coloured page pairs a framed scene with a rhyming verse printed in Fraktur type beneath it. The figures are caricatured, with exaggerated faces, stiff poses and bright flat colour, and a designer might take from them the lively comic staging of sequential action and the use of bold cartoon gesture to tell a story in a few panels.
