Book condition : very good. - Rudolf Heinrich Zille (1858-1929) was a German illustrator, caricaturist, lithographer and photographer. Zille became best known for his (often funny) drawings, catching the characteristics of people, especially stereotypes, mainly from Berlin and many of them published in the German weekly satirical newspaper Simplicissimus. He was the first to portray the desperate social environment of the Berlin Mietskasernen (literally tenement barracks), buildings packed with sometimes a dozen persons per room who fled from the rural regions to the expanding industrial metropolis during the Gründerzeit only to find even deeper poverty in the developing proletarian class.
