Illustri[e]rtes Mährchenbuch [Märchenbuch] der Großmama : Ausgewählte Mährchen

Andersen, Hans Christian, Arndt, Ernst Moritz, Brentano, Clemens, Merkel, Carl, Engelmann, Eduard Wilhelm · 1855 · Druck und Verlag von Ferd. Riehm · 18 pictures

An illustrated German fairy-tale collection, the Illustrierte Märchenbuch der Großmama, compiled from tales by Andersen, Arndt, Brentano and Merkel and published in 1855 by Ferd. Riehm, aimed at children and family reading. Its pictures are small black-and-white woodcut-style scenes framed beside verse and prose, showing animals, a rooster and chicks, a crowned queen, and courtly crowds, useful to a designer for compact vignettes that pair figures with text blocks.
