Descripción

This is a 1949 reprint of a brilliant book of humorous sketches by Wilhelm Busch (1832 - 1908), one of Germany's greatest cartoon artists. "Die Kirmes ünd andere Bildergeschicten" ("The Fair and Other Picture Stories"). Generation after generation of people have chuckled over Busch's comic pictures, many of which depict a progress from banal quotidian commonality, to outright, puissant chaos. His line was brilliant and his imagination unbound. His most famous creation were the incorrigible duo, Max ünd Moritz. This small booklet remains tightly bound, and I was loathe to open it wide enough to achieve views of the interior. Do an online image search for Wilhelm Busch. The text is printed in old German black-letter. ****************************************** TITLE : Die Kirmes ünd andere Bildergeschicten / AUTHOR / ILLUSTRATOR : Wilhelm Busch (1832 - 1908) / AFTERWORD : Carl W.
