Household stories from the collection of the Bros. Grimm

Grimm, Jacob, 1785-1863, Crane, Lucy, 1842-1882, Crane, Walter, 1845-1915, Grimm, Wilhelm, 1786-1859 · 1920 · London : Macmillan · 159 pictures

A 1920 London Macmillan edition of Grimm fairy tales, illustrated from the Lucy and Walter Crane translation for a general reading audience. Its pictures are small woodcut-style vignettes: a fox and animal frieze, a round medallion with a fox and rooster, a decorated initial H with a figure, and a bedroom scene with a crescent moon. A designer could borrow the compact framed vignette format and the dense hatched line work for borders, initials and tale headers.
