Work
Work
• Illustration — Thiele, "We Barbarians, coming home from the Field" • Illustration — Thiele, "On Leave", 1916 Thiele designed album illustrations for the Cologne chocolate producer Ludwig Stollwerck, such as the Joke series for the Stollwerck album no. 13 of 1912. Thiele's younger son Emil Max Fritz Thiele wrote in 1969: All his life, with a few exceptions, he was doing bread and butter work, which, however, gave him great satisfaction... sheet music, diplomas, postcards, book illustrations, designs for paper lanterns, school primers, children's books, jokes, and much more. The postcard played a major role in Thiele's work. Among other subjects, he specialized in humanized animals, especially dachshunds and cats, and among fellow illustrators he was known as 'Dachshund-Thiele' or 'Katzen-Thiele'.
