Märchenzauber - Märchenlust : ein Märchenbuch für brave Kinder ; mit 4 Buntbildern
A German children's fairy-tale book of 1895, published by A. Weichert, with four full-colour plates for well-behaved children. The four pictures show painted fairy-tale scenes with bold outlines and warm, saturated colour, including a wizard with raised arms in a glowing haze, a girl running past a crowd beneath bunting, a boy riding a flying bear over a town, and a boy and princesses by a sphinx-like statue. A designer might take their dramatic silhouettes, flat colour blocks and theatrical staging for storybook layouts.
