Die tragische Rettichgeschichte
A 1920 German picture book by Erika von Kager, a children's counting-out rhyme about radishes, probably published in Germany with the publisher unidentified. Its four pictures show anthropomorphic radishes with red round heads, leafy green skirts and thin stalk legs, drawn in flat colour with crisp outlines on a pale cream ground. A designer could borrow the simple character construction, the limited red-and-green palette, and the comic scene staging, such as the marching line and the fork.
