Bastian, der Faulpelz : eine Bildergeschichte für Kinder
Bastian, der Faulpelz is a German picture book for children by Heinrich Hoffmann, published in 1854 by Litterarische Anstalt, with hand-coloured caricature-style scenes and rhymed verse beneath. The pictures show a lazy boy in a series of comic episodes with exaggerated figures in bright period dress, and a designer might take their loose outlines, flat colour fills and playful gestures as models for cartoon storytelling.
