Der Unzerreißbare Hanswurst : ein lustiges Bilderbuch
A hand-coloured German picture book of 1880, published by Verlag von Lampart & Comp., with comic illustrations by Eduard Ille made for children. Its pages show a stock puppet-theatre Punch figure, Hanswurst, performing in a small proscenium stage framed by red and gold curtains, while costumed street musicians play in the foreground. A designer could take the bold flat colour fills, the saturated red and yellow costumes, and the stage-within-a-page framing device.
