Bechstein, Ludwig · 1870 · Riese · 29 pictures

This 1870 German fairy-tale collection by Ludwig Bechstein, published by Riese, was printed with copperplate engravings and many woodcuts for young readers. The pictures are small, black-and-white line scenes of woodland, village and crowd life, with clean contour lines and simple hatching a designer could borrow for storybook layouts.
