Der Riese Fratzfressius

Pocci, Franz <Graf von> · 1848 · 1 picture

A German children's picture book by Franz von Pocci, published in 1848, telling the story of the giant Fratzfressius through a grid of framed scenes. The panels show a seated giant in a forest, a knight on horseback, a cottage interior with a woman and children, and a knight fighting a giant with a shield and club, so a designer might borrow the sequential panel layout and the bold woodcut-style contrast of dark foliage and figures.
