GRIMM BROTHERS,
SIEBEN AUF EINEN STREICH
From the Grimms´ collection Eckhard Froeschlin chose seven fairy tales of the tailor type, the hero
usually being a thin and poor young man going out into the world to fight with giants, to betray the
king and to get the princess at the end. Froeschlin´s color etchings accompany the stories in the
terse, amoral and hardstuffed version of the first edition from 1812 and 1815. The following editions softened the stories and literally blew up the texts.
Seven fairy tales, Linotype setting from Helvetica 16p, with seven two- or three-page color etchings and seven minor etchings by Eckhard Froeschlin. 78 pages, Velin d´Arches mould paper
250g, 38 x 29 cm. Handbound by Roger Green, cloth with printed graphic label. 30 copies, 2006.
