Struwwelpeter der Jüngere

Trojan, Johannes, Flinzer, Fedor · 1893 · Verlag von Gustav Weise · 28 pictures

A German children's picture book of 1893, published by Gustav Weise, with verses by Johannes Trojan and illustrations by Fedor Flinzer, written as a sequel to the Struwwelpeter cautionary tales. The pictures show a child leaning wearily on a stool, a boy sulking in a barn with a mouse nearby, a bent-over figure stamping in anger, and a stern man holding a small girl by the hair. Their soft tinted or sepia printing and expressive poses suggest a designer might borrow the gestures of exaggerated childhood misbehaviour for character studies.
