Neues deutsc
A German fairy tale collection by Ludwig Bechstein, published in Vienna by A. Hartleben in 1890 for general readers and families. The four woodcut-style pictures show folk-tale scenes: a woman and a dwarf-like figure in a forest, a young man greeted at a gateway in a walled town, a man with a donkey beside a rocky outcrop, and villagers with farm animals. A designer could take from them the wood-engraved line style, strong black shapes, and decorative initial letter.
