About This Item

Frankfurt am Main: Literarische Anstalt Rütten & Loening,, 1880. A very nice copy of this German children's book. 32nd edition (stated on cover). Illustrated boards with a bugler doing his thing. Adverts for publisher to the rear board. Red cloth spine. There seemed to be many variants of this popular work. This copy is on stiff card boards (rather than paper) 32 pages, with the title as the verso of page one. Each page is in one or two columns of verse (In German), with an attractive lithographed picture to each page. The lithographing is very high quality, and gives the impression of hand colouring. The boards are a little rubbed, but sound. The pages have darkening to the card stock, particularly to the page edges. Overall an attractive copy. 280 by 225mm (11 by 8¾ inches) Heinrich Hoffmann's second picture book, a "toy picture book, for which Hofmann had got all sorts of toys on his trip to Nuremberg and which he now brought to life in a fairytale-like plot" (Dyhrenfurth, p. 125) . Très bel exemplaire de ce livre allemand pour enfants. 32ème édition (mentionnée sur la couverture). Carton illustré d'un clairon en train de faire son numéro. Annonce de l'éditeur au dos de la couverture. Dos en tissu rouge. Il semble qu'il y ait eu de nombreuses variantes de cet ouvrage populaire. Cet exemplaire est sur carton rigide (plutôt que sur papier). 32 pages, avec le titre au verso de la première page. Chaque page est composée d'une ou deux colonnes de vers (en allemand), avec une belle image lithographiée sur chaque page. La lithographie est de très bonne qualité et donne l'impression d'être coloriée à la main. Les planches sont un peu frottées, mais saines. Les pages présentent un assombrissement du papier cartonné, en particulier sur les bords des pages. Dans l'ensemble, il s'agit d'un exemplaire attrayant. 280 x 225 mm (11 x 8¾ pouces)
