Der Struwwelpeter oder lustige Geschichten und drollige Bilder für Kinder von 3-6 Jahren
Der Struwwelpeter, a German children's picture book of cautionary tales for ages three to six, written by Heinrich Hoffmann and published by Literarische Anstalt in 1892. The pages are hand-coloured woodcut-style illustrations with verse set beneath each scene, showing exaggerated, comic figures in mishaps. A designer might borrow the bold outlines, flat colour fills and wry staging of misbehaving figures as a template for playful, moralising children's graphics.
