Die Geschichte von dem tapferen Schneiderlein
An 1858 German illustrated edition of the Grimm tale of the brave little tailor, with illustrations by Wilhelm von Diez for a general readership. The engravings are dense black-and-white wood cuts with fine hatching, showing a forest scene with a tree and two sleeping figures, and a crowded courtly hall of costumed figures. A designer might take from them the storytelling of crowds in tight interior space and the dense, tree-filled outdoor linework.
