Der Froschmäusekrieg [Froschmeuseler, der Frösch und Meuse wunderbahre Hoffhaltunge] : Ein Heldengedicht von Victor Blüthgen [nach Georg Rollenhagen]. Mit 12 Farbendruckbildern nach Fédor Flinzer

Rollenhagen, Georg, Blüthgen, Victor, Flinzer, Fedor · 1880 · Verlag von E. G. May Söhne · 12 pictures

A German chromolithographed mock-heroic poem from 1880, published by Verlag von E. G. May Söhne, retelling Georg Rollenhagen's Froschmäusekrieg in verse by Victor Blüthgen with twelve colour plates after Fédor Flinzer for a general German readership. The pages pair framed verse panels with lively scenes of frogs and mice in armour, banners and spears, with pond and reed settings, so a designer could take its ornate border framing, its crisp multicolour printing and its playful anthropomorphic animal characters.
