The Rabbit Book of K. F. E. Von Freyhold

(Find me at 50 Watts Books.)



Illustrations by K. F. E. von Freyhold for Hasenbuch (Germany, 1908)


This book, in theory at least, gives some context to Tom Seidmann-Freud's 1924 rabbit book.


The text is by the great German nonsense poet Christian Morgenstern. There's a good article about von Freyhold in German.


Happy Easter from 50 Watts!
