Unsere Soldaten in beweglichen Bildern

Willibald, König · 1889 · Verlag von Wilh. Effenberger · 7 pictures

A late nineteenth-century German picture book of caricatures of army life, drawn by Willibald König and published by Wilh. Effenberger in 1889 for a general readership. The pictures show uniformed officers and recruits in exaggerated, comic poses, with bold flat colour on cream paper, and a designer could take their stiff postures, hooked moustaches and sharp uniform detailing as a model for satirical character drawing.
