Marcus Behmer, Nobody Can Resist His Fate
See my big post on Marcus Behmer from a few years ago.
If I'm interpreting the auction house correctly, "Niemand kann wider sein Schicksal" is a picture story (for adults) on a single sheet made by Marcus Behmer in 1905 (printed later?) and dedicated to Harry Kessler (see Journey to the Abyss: The Diaries of Count Harry Kessler, 1880-1918 and Berlin in Lights: The Diaries of Count Harry Kessler, 1918-1937).

Der Widiwondelwald
I try not to think about how much I would pay for a copy of Hilde Krüger's 1924 children's book Der Widiwondelwald. Some links (in German): one, two, three -- see the full book as smaller images at the last link to the kibook blog.
[Update: this was briefly in print last year -- might still be able to find it.]
I kept coming across this book when working on my Kinderbuch series over the years.

Bagaría on Mars
This is a martian-heavy companion to my huge 50 Watts post on Spanish caricaturist Luis Bagaria. Most are from the 1924 series "Bagaría on Mars."

Reynard the Fox
Illustrations from Reinecke Fuchs, circa 1880 via a German library. The watercolors are by Heinrich Leutemann, working close to the style of Wilhelm von Kaulbach's famous versions. (The fox is anatomically-correct in both versions!)
This post is a supplement to my 50 Watts' "Kinderbuch series" of German, Austrian, and Swiss children's books

Tumbling Old Women
In September 2010 I featured illustrator Joanna Neborsky's adaptation of Fénéon's Novels In Three Lines. Joanna has since worked her magic for deadpan Russian absurdist Daniil Kharms:
"Daniil Kharms (1905–1942) wore a hat to protect his ideas from being seen. He smoked a pipe to appear English (he was Russian). He wrote twenty children's books. This is not one of them.
"This short story from 1936 is illustrated in twenty collaged pages. Available in English and Italian editions. English translation courtesy Matvei Yankelevich and The Overlook Press."
