Légende
In 1812, the Grimm brothers, Jacob and Wilhelm, published Children and Household Tales, a collection German fairy tales. This illustration accompanied the tale ""Little Red Riding Hood."" Little Red Riding Hood, also known as Little Red Cap, is an old French fairy tale about a young girl, goes to her grandma's house to bring her sick grandmother some food that she has placed in her basket. On the way she meets a wolf (seen here) who then eats both the grandmother and the girl - but a hunter cuts open the wolf's stomach and saves the two. Stones are put in the wolf's stomach so that when he goes to drink at a waterhole, he topples over and drowns. 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.
