Der Hemdenmatz : drollige Geschichten und Bilder
A German children's picture book published in 1877 by Verlag von Friedr. Krätzschmer, offering droll stories and pictures for young readers. Its hand-coloured illustrations show small boys in everyday moments with adults, including a child waving, a man in a top hat, and a boy with a hoop, rendered in simple flat colour with bold outlines. A designer might take its naive figure poses, limited palette of blue, brown, red and ochre, and expressive gestures such as raised hands and lifted hats.
