Das Narrenrad is a German album of humorous cycling pictures published in Berlin in 1898 by Carl Predeek & Co. for the readers of the Berliner Illustrierte Wochenschrift and the satirical Narrenschiff circle, with drawings by Lyonel Feininger, Ernst Heilemann, Knut Hansen and Edmund Fürst. The pen-and-ink pictures show cyclists in caricature, with loose hatched shading and exaggerated postures, and a designer might take from them their economical line work and comic energy for bicycle-themed or period humour graphics.
