Legends of Number Nip
A collection of German folk and fairy tales retold in English by Mark Lemon from Johann Musäus, published in London by Macmillan in 1864 and aimed at young readers. The four pictures are pen-and-ink wood engravings by Charles Keene showing rustic and period figures in woodland, a shadowy cave, and a garden terrace, with dense hatching and strong contrast that a designer could take as a model for quick narrative line work and tonal shading.
