description

Many of the picture stories and poems in the collection deal with alcohol . This indicates Busch's alcohol addiction, which he tried to hide from the public. Furthermore, Busch was a heavy smoker. This is why symptoms of severe nicotine poisoning appeared in 1874.

However, Busch spoke openly about the subject of alcohol and cigarettes :

"This is how it works with tobacco and rum:
first you are happy, then you fall over. "
"It is an ancient custom:
If you have worries, you also have liquor.
But whoever is satisfied and happy
see to it that he gets some too. "
(From "Die pious Helene")
