Das Wirtshaus im Spessart : W[ilhelm] Hauff ; Mit farbigen Illustrationen

Hauff, Wilhelm · 1895 · Druck und Verlag von Carl Schaller · 4 pictures

A late nineteenth-century German picture book printed in colour, Wilhelm Hauff's tale of The Inn in the Spessart published in 1895 by Carl Schaller and aimed at young readers. The chromolithographed plates show a moonlit scene of travellers and a hooded noble figure, a forest encounter with a hunter-like man, and a cosy tavern interior with a landlady and guests, all in soft, saturated, slightly naive colour that suits storybook layouts and vintage print references.
