• 90th anniversary of Vicco von Bülow on November 12th, 2013

Who isn’t familiar with it, that irksome obliga- tion of immortalising oneself in guest books when visiting people? Loriot’s guests had an easier run of it. The master of the house would photograph them instead, always against the same backdrop, and in a variety of poses. Friends, relatives, colleagues and fellow artists posed for Vicco von Bülow, alongside a pillar and in front of a curtain. Over the years, an extensive photo gallery came into being. Lo- riot’s Guestbook is a personal document, an amusing panorama of society and a condensed chronicle of changing fashions.

• A special children’s book, ideal as a gift.

• One to discover and giggle over.

»One, Two, where’s my Shoe? – Three, Four, on the Floor!« – These are the only words Tomi Ungerer needs for a story. The rest is told by his subtle and shrewd pictures, which seem to take the viewer for a fool – until he can’t help but smile in recognition: Across the book’s pages, Tomi Ungerer’s pencil conjures up dragonflies, soldiers, scarecrows, a pig and even an ocean liner. And the line is always: One, Two, where’s my Shoe?
