Hilarius und Ferdinand oder die Reise in's Schlaraffenland : mit 25 Bildern, die gar anmuthig schildern, was Beide da gehört, gesehn und noch Andres ist geschehen von Th. D.
Hilarius und Ferdinand is a German rhyming picture book for children, published by Beyer in 1874 and written in verse by Th. D. It follows two boys on a journey to the land of Schlaraffen, a fabled land of plenty. Its chromolithographed pages pair a small coloured scene with verse beneath, and a designer might borrow the flat, saturated palette and the simple paired-panel layout for storybook-style compositions.
