Beschreibung

A smart English edition of The Struwwelpeter, by Hoffmann, with colour illustrations throughout. Undated, presumed first printing from George Routledge & Sons, Ltd. circa 1909. With twenty-four pages of colour illustrations surrounding verses and stories. Collated complete. A collection of ten illustrated and rhymed stories with clear moral lessons demonstrating the disastrous consequences of misbehaving in an exaggerated way. One of the earliest books for children that combines visual and verbal narrative in book format, this piece is considered a precursor to comic books. Written and illustrated by Heinrich Hoffmann, a German psychiatrist known for this work. In the original quarter cloth binding with pictorial paper covered boards. Externally, sound with light shelf wear and chipping to the extremities resulting in light loss to the paper covered boards. Fading to the spine and marks to the boards. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean with the odd spot. Light scattered spotting to the endpapers. Good. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 881T22
