Der bunte Hans : ein Bilderbuch zur Entwickelung des Farbensinnes für Kinder von 1-5 Jahren
Der bunte Hans is an 1880 German picture book by Max Taube and Adolf Reinheimer, published by Carl Reissner for children aged one to five to develop colour sense. Its pictures show a jointed paper puppet, the Hampelmann, repeated in black and white, blue and green, and red and yellow, with short German rhyming verses beneath; a designer could take the colour-variant figure as a model for playful palette studies and simple flat stacked layouts.
