Movable book expert Theo Geilen in the Volume 5,
Number 3 – September 1997 edition of Movable Stationary: “With the same title of The Magic Lantern Struwwelpeter, Warne and Co. published in 1896 a simplified edition of the earlier book (1890). The moveable part was reduced to only 1 wheel, built in the front cover of the book and showing only 4 pictures of the girl who played with fire; the number of stories included was also reduced to 12. From this edition appeared a Dutch edition with the literally translated title De Tooverlantaarn, published in 1897 by Campagne & Zoon in Amsterdam. At the latest in 1900, but undated, the 8 pages with the embedded wheels known from the 1890 edition, were used again by Warne & Co. for a third version of The Magic Lantern Struwwelpeter. Printed without text this time, the cover reads "Printed and made in Bavaria." There was also the Dutch edition of 'The Magic Lantern', 'De Tooverlantaarn', (J. Vlieger) telling the story of the Dutch equivalent of Slovenly Peter, Piet de Smeerpoes. This Dutch edition has no text, similar to the third English edition published around 1900. But copies of this edition are extremely scarce, as are all these Warne editions.” Mr. Geilen also mentioned a Russian edition with the title Steka Rastrepka (Slovenly little Steven) published in 1898 in Moscow and St. Petersburg. No mention was made in the article about a French edition. Indeed, before this copy turned up, we were unaware that a French edition had ever been made. |

William Heath
(1794 Northumberland – 1840 Hampstead, London) was a British artist who
once described himself as a "portrait & military painter". He was best
known for his published engravings which included caricatures, political
cartoons, and commentary on contemporary life. His early works often
dealt with military scenes, including colour plates for The Martial
Achievements, The Wars of Wellington, etc., but from about 1820 on he
focused on satire. Between 1827 and 1829, many of his works were
published under the pseudonym "Paul Pry" (the name of an overly
inquisitive stage character in a popular 1825 stage comedy by John Poole).
Size is 11.5 cm x 7.5 cm. 7 pages. |
