Struwwelpeter - 50 Watts (original) (raw)
(Find me at 50 Watts Books.)
Images from Sanya Glisic's insanely-great hand screen printed edition of Struwwelpeter.
Struwwelpeter, first published in Germany in 1844, contains ten cautionary tales for children, each one with a clear moral and overly exaggerated consequences for misbehavior. In one parable, a mother warns her son not to suck his thumbs. The son continues his habit. A tailor with giant scissors joins the scene, and the story heads in a dreadful direction.
