Maksym i Marko : abo iaka kara postyhla dvokh zbytochnykiv

Busch, Wilhelm, 1832-1908, Vilshenko, IAroslav, 1881-1949 · 1921 · Lviv : "Svit dytyny" · 85 pictures

A Ukrainian-language children's edition of Wilhelm Busch's comic verse about two mischief-makers, published in Lviv in 1921 by Svit dytyny, adapted by Yaroslav Vilshenko from the German original. The pictures are crude, sketchy black-and-white comic vignettes with heavy hatching, showing exaggerated figures in slapstick scenes such as a sack of grain being spilled, a figure running with a sack, and a bulky figure crouching by a stove, offering a designer loose, energetic cartoon gesture and caricature for humorous line work.

Children's poetry, German
