Der schwarze Sambo : eine Mohrengeschichte in 15 Bildern
A German children's picture book, Der schwarze Sambo, published in 1886 by Hofmann and credited to E. Elias, told in fifteen colour-printed scenes with rhyming German verse beneath each. The pictures show Black children and adults in domestic and village settings, in a stiff, decorative chromolithograph style that a designer could study for period palette, costume and the layout of verse set beside framed images, though the racial caricature is central to how the book is read.
