Heinrich Lefler

Heinrich Lefler (1863 – 1919) was an Austrian artist who did a bit of everything: painting, drawing, graphic design, and staging. He is one of those artists for whom there will never be a complete catalog, because for years he paid the bills by doing whatever came through the door. 

I discovered Lefler through his calendars, which are all over the internet.

He also did well-known illustrations of fairy tales.

I like these, done for a chronicle of German history. I could look at pictures like these all day.
