Gerlach's Jugendbucherei

Bechstein, Ludwig, 1801-1860, Fraungruber, Hans, 1863-1933 · 1900 · Wien und Leipzig : Gerlach & Wiedling · 76 pictures

Gerlach's Jugendbucherei is a German-language children's book of fairy tales by Ludwig Bechstein, illustrated by Hans Fraungruber, published in Vienna and Leipzig by Gerlach & Wiedling in 1900 for young readers. Its pictures are bold black-and-white line drawings with flat solid shadows and a few muted colour washes, with simplified forms, stylised trees and sweeping outlines that suggest Jugendstil poster work and could inform restrained storybook layouts or decorative border strips.
