Zwei Märchen [Märchen] mit Bildern : den Kindern zu Weihnachten gewidmet

Pocci, Franz <Graf von> · 1839 · Franz · 37 pictures

A German children's storybook of two fairy tales with woodcut illustrations, written and drawn by Count Franz von Pocci and published in 1839 as a Christmas gift for children. The pictures show a woodcutter beside a great tree, a woman walking with two children, a grey-bearded old man with a small elf-like figure perched on a decorative initial, and a man pushing through bushes, all in lively hand-cut line work with a folk storybook charm that suggests simple narrative vignettes for editorial or decorative use.
