Der Struwwelpeter oder lustige Geschichten und drollige Bilder für Kinder von 3-6 Jahren
Der Struwwelpeter is a German picture book of moralising children's verse by physician Heinrich Hoffmann, published in Frankfurt in 1848 for children aged three to six. Its hand-coloured woodcut-style pictures show exaggerated, cautionary scenes, such as a long-coated tailor with giant scissors, a boy with wild uncut hair, and a sailboat tipping children into the water, offering designers a clear model of bold, simplified narrative figures with strong outlines and flat colour.
