The Inky Boys: A Tale of Agrippa and Hoffmann's Whimsical Inkwell This image, titled "The Story of the Inky Boys: Agrippa Dips the Boys in His Enormous Ink Well," is a fascinating glimpse into the whimsical world of 19th-century storytelling. The photograph, published in 1847 by Mary Evans Picture Library, depicts a scene from the popular children's book "Struwwelpeter" by Heinrich Hoffmann. The image shows the enigmatic figure of Agrippa, a character from Hoffmann's book, standing next to an enormous ink well. Agrippa, known for his long, curly beard and mischievous grin, is in the process of dipping two boys into the ink well. Their expressions of fear and surprise are palpable, as they are fully submerged in the ink, their clothes and faces turning dark with the liquid. This scene is derived from the story "The Inky Boys," which serves as a cautionary tale against misbehavior. The boys in the image are depicted as naughty and disobedient, and Agrippa, as the disciplinarian, uses the ink well as a tool to teach them a lesson. The use of straws in the ink well adds an interesting detail to the image. Straws were commonly used in the 19th century to draw ink from wells or bottles, and their inclusion in this image underscores the historical accuracy of the scene. This photograph is a testament to the imaginative storytelling of Hoffmann and the illustrative prowess of the 19th century. It offers a glimpse into a time when children's literature was filled with whimsy, cautionary tales, and a touch of the fantastical. The image, with its intriguing narrative and historical significance, continues to captivate and intrigue viewers more than 170 years after its publication.
