Der Struwwelpeter in Wort und Bild

Votteler, Christian · 1886 · Ensslin & Laiblin · 6 pictures

Der Struwwelpeter in Wort und Bild is a German illustrated children's moral picture book by Christian Votteler, published by Ensslin & Laiblin in 1886 for young readers. Its pages pair a titled German rhyme with hand-coloured vignettes of misbehaving children and their consequences, arranged in framed panels with decorative blackletter headings. A designer might draw on its bold, flat colour, clear narrative sequencing across small panels, and the contrast between ornate Gothic lettering and simple cartoon figures.
