Die Geschichte von dem tapferen Schneiderlein
A nineteenth-century German picture book of the Brothers Grimm tale of the brave little tailor, illustrated by Wilhelm von Diez and published in 1858 for children. The hand-coloured pictures show the tailor's adventures as a sequence of scenes with German text printed in columns beside them, with a crowded courtly hall and a tiled interior, and a designer could take their flat colour, dense staging and narrative layout as a model for storytelling panels.
