Der Struwwelpeter, in Wort und Bild

Votteler, Christian · 1905 · Ensslin & Laiblin · 6 pictures

Der Struwwelpeter is a German cautionary picture book for children, illustrated by Christian Votteler and published by Ensslin & Laiblin in 1905. Its pages are hand-coloured rhyming verse panels, each with a framed scene of a misbehaving child and a decorative initial letter; a designer might borrow the tight vignette layouts, bold flat colour, and ornamental capitals framing each panel.
