Marienkind (1904)
Illustrated by Heinrich Lefler and Joseph Urban
The 1st Edition of the Lefler and Urban illustrative interpretation of Marienkind was published by Scholz (Mainz) in 1904.
The suite of illustrations prepared by Lefler and Urban for Marienkind represented their commission from the German publishing house of Scholz for a collection of 19 titles illustrating Grimm's Marchen (Tales from the Brothers Grimm).
1st Edition copies of Marienkind - as illustrated by Lefler and Urban for Scholz - are exquisitely delicate and rare. They are highly regarded by collectors and enthusiasts alike. |

When presented on Greeting Cards, these images are prepared as tipped-on plates - in hommage to the hand-crafted approach typical of prestige illustrated publications produced in the early decades of the 20th Century. Each card is hand-finished and the images are presented on Ivory card stock with an accompanying envelope. The rear of each card carries information about Lefler and Urban, this wonderful suite and the profiled illustration - we have left the interior of the cards blank so that you may write your own personal message.
Should you wish to order a reproduction print of one or more of these images, we have provided some options below. Each of our Fine Art Posters is prepared with archival quality papers and inks - and also accompanied by information about Lefler and Urban, this suite and the profiled illustration.
