The Darning Needle Flugblattpresse; Lahnstein, Germany; 1985 Author: Hans Christian Andersen Illustrator/Artist: Peter Malutzki Printer: Peter Malutzki Binder: Helmuth Halbach Contact: www.tloen-enzyklopaedie.de The illustrations are made up of, among other things, brass rules, photographs, linocuts, wood type, a piece of a German newspaper from 1852 and a bit of genuine gold leaf. Typface: Legende (by Ernst Schneidler). Linen-over-board cover. Edition of 135, 48 pages. A darning needle with pretensions tries to hold her own as she is shunted from a maid's apron into a kitchen sink. Andersen's cautionary tale of overweening pride is not without a certain grudging admiration for this attribute as a survival tool. | |||
