Komische Thierbilder
Komische Thierbilder is a German comic picture book of 1895 by Gustav Süs and Georg Philipp Schmitt, published by M. Seeger, aimed at children and family readers. Its hand-coloured pages place animals in human roles, such as frogs in bonnets and bears in cloaks, with rhyming German captions beneath each scene. A designer could draw on the anthropomorphic animal costumes, the bold flat colour, and the compact caption-and-image layout of each panel.
