Browsing the vast archives of the legendary German publication Simplicissimus, I came upon these five works from 1912 by one of my favorite artists, Walter Schnackenberg (1880-1961). Unfortunately these are the only illustrations he did for them.

For more information, see the 2008 posts Walter Schnackenberg 1 (featuring his magical and bizarre 1950s work) and Walter Schnackenberg 2 (featuring his posters and costume designs). (Also, two stray images here.)
