This vintage edition of “Das grosse Wilhelm Busch album, in farbe” offers a rare opportunity to own a comprehensive collection of the satirical and humorous works of the renowned German poet, painter, and caricaturist Wilhelm Busch (1832-1908). Busch is widely regarded as a pioneer of the modern comic strip and a master of wordplay, known for his biting social commentary and brilliant portrayal of human folly through his iconic characters like Max and Moritz. This album, published in German, presents Busch’s beloved verse novels and picture stories in their original language, allowing readers to fully appreciate the wit and linguistic mastery that made him a cultural icon in Germany and beyond. With its charming yet slightly worn dust jacket and secure binding, this copy bears the gentle marks of time that collectors prize as evidence of its vintage provenance. A true gem for enthusiasts of German literature, humor, and the history of sequential art.
