Die Kinder des Trunkenbolds : eine Erzählung in 8 Bildern ; Fortsetzung der Erzählung: Die Flasche

Naumann, Heinrich Ferdinand, Cruikshank, George · 1852 · Weber · 7 pictures

Die Kinder des Trunkenbolds is a German temperance picture story in eight illustrated scenes, published by Weber in 1852 as a sequel to Die Flasche, with designs credited to Heinrich Ferdinand Naumann and George Cruikshank. Its woodcut-style plates are rotated on the page and show domestic and street scenes of drink-driven family hardship. A designer might take from them the crowded group compositions, the stark interior settings with barred windows and bed-side vignettes, and the strong contrasts of dark hatched figures against pale ground.
