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 Twelve Brothers,"" which told of a king who planned to kill his 12 sons when a daughter was born. The boys learned of this and fled to the woods Years later, the daughter learned as well and found them in the forest. Here the brothers are reunited with their sister for the first time. 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.
