Nach [Georg] Rollenhagens "Froschmäuseler" [Froschmeuseler, der Frösch und Meuse wunderbahre Hoffhaltung] : Der Froschmäusekrieg ; Für Jung und Alt frei bearbeitet von G. Mensch. Mit Illustrationen von G[ustav] Süs

Rollenhagen, Georg, Mensch, Gottlieb, Süs, Gustav · 1871 · Verlag von A. Kröner · 20 pictures

A German illustrated retelling of Georg Rollenhagen's mock-epic Froschmäusekrieg, the frog-and-mouse war, adapted for young and old readers by G. Mensch with pictures by Gustav Süs, published by A. Kröner in 1871. The pictures show armoured frogs and mice fighting with spears and swords, marching through reeds and pond edges, and gathering at a frog court, with bold animal caricature and dense cross-hatched line that a designer could take as models for character-driven animal narrative.
