Aus Kamerun : ein Bilderbuch für kleine und große Kinder

Benary, F. H, Allers, Christian Wilhelm · 1885 · Braun & Schneider · 12 pictures

This picture book, Aus Kamerun, was published in Berlin in 1885 by Braun & Schneider, with text by F. H. Benary and illustrations by Christian Wilhelm Allers, for young children learning to count. Its colour lithographs show a counting rhyme of Black African figures in scenes of hunting, animals and a hunt-themed tableau with a pig, lion and ostrich, drawn in a stiff, caricatured style that a designer might study for early colonial-era children's illustration and narrative panel layouts.
