Ali Moçambique : Bilder aus dem Leben eines schwarzen Fabeldichters

Hauer, August, 1886- · 1922 · Berlin : Safari-Verlag · 4 pictures

Ali Moçambique is a 1922 German illustrated book of tales published in Berlin by Safari-Verlag, credited to August Hauer, and set around the life of a Black storyteller. Its pictures are black-and-white, mixing rotated engraved scenes of animals and figures in grass and trees with a campfire scene at night and a carved-looking standing figure in a hat and cloak, showing how a designer might build folk-tale imagery from stylised animal and nocturnal motifs.
