Der wegen seiner kurzweiligen Possen merkwürdige Schlesische Rübezahl oder der schalkhafte Berggeist

Wolff, Oskar Ludwig Bernhard · 1846 · Verlag von O. Wigand · 11 pictures

An 1846 German chapbook published by Verlag von O. Wigand, compiled by Oskar Ludwig Bernhard Wolff, collecting comic tales of the Silesian mountain spirit Rübezahl and other trickster stories for a popular readership. The pictures are small, crude woodcut-style etchings of peasants, tricksters and rustic scenes, with German captions, offering a designer loose, folksy vignettes of cunning and mischief in the manner of early nineteenth-century popular print.
