In the text, the girls commented on his game often surprising ways. The real highlight of the little graphic work of art reveals itself only after complete unfolding of Leporello: On the back we find the same drawings with a text from the perspective of the duckling. Graphically, the change of perspective is signaled by a reversal of the colors of figure and ground. In this way, the book gives a whole load of literary, visual, and last but not least -media experience. A great pleasure for semiotician and bibliophiles from two years ago. "
