Überkinder-Bilderbuch : Lustige Bilder und Reime für das kleine Volk
Überkinder-Bilderbuch is a satirical picture book for children by Mathilde Ade, published by J. F. Schreiber in Germany in 1902. Its pages pair coloured illustrations of children playing at adult life, such as exhibitions, weddings and dolls' households, with short German rhymes. For a designer, the pictures offer a dense, period-accurate study in early twentieth-century German children's illustration, with clear figure groupings, flat colour blocks and humorous staging of miniature adult rituals.
