Carl Maria Seyppel (1847-1913), who lived and worked in Düsseldorf, Germany, was a well-established genre and portrait painter, versed in "Dutch Golden Age Painting" (1568-1648), as well as a caricaturist and writer. He had antiquarian interests and produced several humorous books dealing with ancient Egypt, African and a purported logbook of Christopher Columbus.
Seyppel, while greatly influenced by Carl Busch (1832-1908), one of the inventors of the comic book, is an originator of the graphic novel. While he is sometimes referenced as a "children's author," there is no indication, based on numerous contemporary reviews of his work, that children were his target audience. Rather the humor in his work is geared towards adults. (Content copied from: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sharper-Sharpest-Schlau-Schlauer-Schlausten/dp/B0B1C7QM3Q)
