Grimm - Hanzel and Gretel
Légende
In 1812, the Grimm brothers, Jacob and Wilhelm, published Children and Household Tales, a collection German fairy tales. This illustration accompanied the tale ""Hanzel and Gretel."" It shows Hanzel in the iron cage where he was put by the witch. The witch is trying to fattenhim up to eat, but Hanzel gives her a bone instead of his finger and she thinks he is still too thin to eat. This image is from Grimms Eventyr (Grimm's Fairy Tales) by Carl Ewald, published in 1922. The frontispiece has the llustrations 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.
