Bilder aus dem Schützengraben! : Kinderbilderbuch

Erkens, Paul · 1916 · Schreiber · 11 pictures

A 1916 German children's picture book by Paul Erkens, published by Schreiber, showing life for soldiers in the trenches of the First World War. The pictures are loose colour drawings in pencil and crayon with washes of yellow, blue and green, with simple figures and sparse settings. A designer might take their economical hatching and flat colour blocks as a model for naive, reportage-style illustration.
