"Esser Sichot LiYeladim" [after the German edition, Kleine Märchen – Little Fairy Tales], adapted from Hans Christian Andersen, the Brothers Grimm, and others, with illustrations by Tom Seidmann-Freud. Jerusalem-Berlin: Ophir publishing (by Moriah), 5683 [1923]. Hebrew. Ten fairy tales by Hans Christian Andersen, the Brothers Grimm, and others, translated into Hebrew by Haim Nachman Bialik. Each tale is accompanied by a color illustration by Tom Seidmann-Freud. Tom Seidmann-Freud (1892-1930), painter, illustrator, and author, native of Vienna; niece of Sigmund Freud. Notwithstanding the brevity of her career (cut short by her suicide at age 38), Seidmann-Freud had a profound impact on 20th-century children's literature. Her distinctive style of illustration – characterized by simple, delicately colored geometric forms – is suggestive of the influence of "Neue Sachlichkeit" ("New Objectivity"), a modernist art movement that developed in Germany in the interwar period.
