Der Struwwelpeter oder lustige Geschichten für Kinder von 3-6 Jahren

Hoffmann, Heinrich · 1895 · Literarische Anstalt von Rütten & Löning · 19 pictures

Der Struwwelpeter is a German illustrated children's picture book of cautionary verse, written and drawn by Heinrich Hoffmann and published in Frankfurt by Rütten & Löning in 1895 for children aged three to six. The pictures are hand-coloured woodcut-style prints with bold outlines, flat washes of ochre, green and red, and bordered rhyming text set in a single panel, showing a designer how narrative scenes can be compressed into a clear, toy-like graphic vocabulary with limited palette.
