Bubenstreiche : Ein Verwandlungsbilderbuch

Meggendorfer, Lothar · 1899 · Verlag von J. F. Schreiber · 17 pictures

Bubenstreiche is a German picture book of transformation pages by Lothar Meggendorfer, published by Verlag von J. F. Schreiber in 1899 for children. Its pages are hand-coloured chromolithographs of a stylised boy and his mischief, each framed by a pale green foliage border. A designer could take the bold outlines, flat colour fields and comic caricature poses as a model for playful, mid-1890s children's illustration.
