EDITORS COMMENTS
This image brings to life the chilling tale of "Little Suck-a-Thumb" from Heinrich Hoffmann's iconic 1847 children's book, "Struwwelpeter." In the story, young Conrad, known for his insatiable thumb-sucking habit, encounters a long, great red-legged man with a pair of large scissors. The man, known as the Straw Man or the Scissor Man, warns Conrad to stop sucking his thumbs, but the child refuses to listen. In a fit of frustration, the man cuts off Conrad's thumbs, leaving him screaming in terror. This historical print, published by Mary Evans Picture Library from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the vivid and macabre world of Hoffmann's classic tale. The image of the Straw Man, with his menacing scissors and ominous red legs, is sure to send shivers down the spine of even the bravest readers. The use of bold colors and intricate details adds to the story's timeless appeal and makes this print a must-have for any collection of children's literature or folklore. First published in Germany in 1845, "Struwwelpeter" quickly gained popularity and has since been translated into numerous languages, making it one of the most well-known and enduring children's books in history. The tales, which also include "The Story of the Whipping Top," "The Story of the Dancing Men," and "The Story of the Frog Prince," are known for their moral lessons and often gruesome consequences for misbehavior. This print is a testament to the lasting impact of Hoffmann's work and the power of storytelling to captivate and entertain generations of readers.
