EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Tall Agrippa and his Inkwell" from Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back in time to the mid-19th century and the world of children's literature. The photograph features a striking depiction of the enigmatic character, Agrippa, from the popular German children's book "Struwwelpeter" or "Shockheaded Peter," authored by Heinrich Hoffmann and first published in 1845. Agrippa, one of the most memorable characters from Hoffmann's collection of moral tales, is often illustrated with an oversized quill and inkwell. In this photograph, the tall, straw-hatted figure stands proudly, his long, curved quill poised above an inkwell brimming with dark, viscous ink. The straw hat, a common accessory for writers during this era, adds a whimsical touch to the scene. The "Inky Boys," as Agrippa and his companions are sometimes called, are known for their mischievous antics and their penchant for getting covered in ink. This photograph, with its historical context and intriguing subject matter, offers a glimpse into the rich history of children's literature and the imaginative world of Hoffmann's tales. First published in 1845, "Struwwelpeter" was a collection of cautionary tales that used vivid and often grotesque illustrations to teach children moral lessons. The book, which included stories like "The Story of the Inky Boys," "The Story of the Dancing Men," and "The Story of the Frog Prince," quickly gained popularity and has since been translated into numerous languages and adapted into various forms of media. This photograph, with its intriguing subject matter and historical significance, is a must-have for anyone with an interest in children's literature, the history of printing, or the art of storytelling. It serves as a reminder of the power of a well-told tale and the enduring appeal of the written word.
