Der gestiefelte Kater
An 1841 German edition of the fairy tale Der gestiefelte Kater, retold by Ludwig Tieck and illustrated by Otto Speckter, intended for children and family reading. Its pictures are small, finely hatched pencil-like engravings of interiors, courtly scenes and crowds, with a folk-tale quality a designer could draw on for storybook layouts, period costume, or cat-and-miller character studies.
