Die deutsche Karikatur im 19. Jahrhundert

Hermann, Georg, 1871-1943 · 1901 · Bielefeld : Velhagen & Klasing · 35 pictures

A German book on nineteenth-century caricature, written by Georg Hermann and published in Bielefeld by Velhagen & Klasing in 1901 for readers interested in graphic satire. Its pictures are pen and ink caricatures of exaggerated figures: a heavy-set man gesturing at a thinner companion, a top-hatted dandy with a cane, a crowd of street types, and a stooping figure in a long coat, all drawn with bold, expressive line that a designer could take as a model for character caricature.
