Grimm's Wishing Table
Légende
In 1812, the Grimm brothers, Jacob and Wilhelm, published Children and Household Tales, a collection German fairy tales. This illustration accompanied the tale ""The Wishing Table, The Gold Donkey, and the Cudgel in the Sack"" and includes three scenes: the magic table that spreads itself with wondrous food at command, the donkey that spews gold coins from its mouth, and the cudgel that bounds out of its sack to dance on the back of anyone who might harm its owner. This image is from Grimms Eventyr (Grimm's Fairy Tales) by Carl Ewald, published in 1922. The frontispiece has the illustrations by Philip Grot Johann and R. Leinweber. Johann was a well-known German illustrator and did pieces for Goethe, but he considered his pieces for Grimm's tales very important. He died young and Leinweber succeeded him as illustrator for later editions of the tales.
