Der Knaben Kriegszug : eine drollige Geschichte in Bildern für muntere Knaben ; Mit 8 illuminirten Bildern
An 1853 German picture book, Der Knaben Kriegszug, published by Rudolph Chelius and illustrated by Ferdinand Siebentrieb, presents a comic story in eight hand-coloured scenes for lively boys. The pictures show crowds of boys in a chaotic mock war, with flags, tents, horses and makeshift weapons, drawn in loose caricature with bright flat colour that a designer could adapt for playful, energetic group scenes.
