- Abstract
- en_US Here is a lucky rare find on a Saturday afternoon in Frankfurt at the last of the antiquarian bookshops Franz and I were able to reach. It was worth the trip! Many factors come together to make this a special piece in the collection. The excellence of its production, the very small number of copies, the Luther Fraktur print, the Chinese "Kalligraphiepapier"; and the Fabriano binding. Steinhöwel's version has a single human intruder, and his "Feldmaus" gives a long speech, perhaps best summed up in "Du hast keine sicherheit." She even mentions a cat that has not appeared in the story. Steinhöwel's moral criticizes people who want to live above their station. The cuts are subtle and lovely, suggesting things like the sun, the grain of the fields, the door of the city, the cat, and the human intruder.
