A colour-printed 1890 German edition of Grimm's fairy tales, Kinder- und Hausmärchen, illustrated by Paul Friedrich Meyerheim and published by C. Bertelsmann for children and family readers. Its pictures are hand-coloured-looking scenes of forest encounters, a cottage door with a wolf-like figure, a kitchen table with servants and dwarfs, and a maiden with geese beneath a castle, drawn in loose pen lines with soft watercolour washes that suggest warm, storybook folk imagery for designers.
