滑稽的自动剧场 图版4
1891
Poor Mr. Hunter thought he was the apex predator until a grumpy wild boar chased him straight up a birch tree! Clutching his rifle for dear life, this red-nosed sportsman in checkered pants is the perfect example of Lothar Meggendorfer's hilarious style. Meggendorfer was the undisputed king of 19th-century mechanical books, creating illustrations with clever movable parts that made characters dance, fight, and get into trouble. This specific plate comes from his 'Funny Automaton Theater,' where readers could actually pull tabs to make the terrified hunter tremble and the boar charge.
