In A London Restaurant, 1916"Simplicissimus was a satirical German weekly magazine started by Albert Langen in April 1896 and published until 1967, with a hiatus from 1944-1954. It became a biweekly in 1964.[1] It took its name from the protagonist of Grimmelshausen's 1668 novel Der Abenteuerliche Simplicissimus Teutsch." - quote source
There is a huge archive of all previous issues of Simplicissimus here which I've been picking through over the last few weeks. I've been finding a lot of great artists hidden amongst the issues such as Alfred Kubin, Paul Weber, Heinrich Kley, Karl Arnold, Theodor Kittelsen and many others. I'll be sharing many of my findings in the coming days and weeks, beginning with this assortment of rarely seen artworks by Franz Sedlacek.
You can find additional works by Sedlacek in this previous post.
