Daniel und Melanie oder Die bösen Negerlein und andere lustige Geschichten : in Bildern und Versen
A German children's picture book of 1908 by Herbert Rikly, published by Braun & Schneider, with verse and comic scenes for young readers. The pages are hand-coloured in soft washes, with caricatured figures, a farmyard, a cat and a bird-cage scene. A designer might take its loose line, pastel palette and comic staging of small dramatic moments.
