Rothkäppchen
A German illustrated sheet from 1872, published in Stuttgart by Gustav Weise, illustrating the Grimm brothers' fairy tale Rotkäppchen (Little Red Riding Hood) for children. The central octagonal scene shows a girl in a red hood walking through a dark forest of gnarled trees, with smaller framed vignettes of the story around it, and the engraved linework and dense forest shadows offer a model for dramatic storybook staging and woodland atmosphere.
