24 hand colored wood engraved plates, all folded in center as issued. Text in German. (Art and story telling in the manner of Wilhelm Busch).

Each sheet when opened reads as a single story line/ cohesive image. The themes and eye appeal are quite distinctive to this era, location and type of printed image.It could appeal greatly to anyone interested in the evolution and history of early comic book art and humorous comic art in general.

The hand coloring on these sheets is particularly pleasing, the nice colors and images all display a very nice age patina glow nearly impossible to recreate or duplicate today. This book is why actual antiquarian objects are fundamentally different from digital images and modern copies. What you "see" and experience visually with this book you can "see" in no other way. It's the difference between sitting on the sand by the ocean in real life, and looking at a picture of it.
