1847 Finger Nails Hoffmann Struwwelpeter Wild
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the whimsical and wild world of Struwwelpeter, as depicted in this cover image from the 1847 edition of the infamous children's book. Published by German author and satirist Heinrich Hoffmann, Struwwelpeter is a collection of macabre and morally instructive stories, told through vivid and grotesque illustrations. The cover image showcases the iconic figure of Struwwelpeter himself, with his wild red hair standing on end and a mischievous grin spreading across his face. He wears a large, oversized coat, adorned with buttons that seem to stretch endlessly down his chest. The background is a swirl of historical chaos, with other characters from the book peeking out from the edges. One cannot help but be drawn to the intricacies of the illustration, from the sharp lines of the characters' features to the minute details of their clothing. The red hue of Struwwelpeter's hair and the contrasting black and white tones of the cover create a striking visual effect that is both inviting and unsettling. First published in 1845, Struwwelpeter has become a beloved and enduring part of children's literature, despite its dark and disturbing themes. The book's unique blend of humor, horror, and morality has captivated generations of readers, making it a fascinating piece of historical and literary significance. This cover image, preserved in the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich and wild imagination of Heinrich Hoffmann and the enduring legacy of Struwwelpeter.
