The first words druck verlag seem to mean press publishing house. It look like a late 19th century German print or litho. Is their any other writing on the image itself.

Interesting.... le chaperon rouge is French for The Red Riding Hood.

Das Rotkäppchen (notice the Das is missing) is German for "the Red Riding Hood".

Yes, and rothkappchen is German for Little Red Riding Hood. The "chen" ending is a dimunitive.

Just looking at the style,  I'd say that it dates from the 1890-1910 time period.

May I ask what the dimensions of the piece are?  Are you able to open the frame and see if in fact it is a print or a page from a book?

Background information that you might find interesting...is that originally called Little Red Cap then Little Red Riding Hood...it was originally a French tale and then later spread to the European countries!!!

What I get from this print is that is was available for two countries at least with the dual language notations.

Nice print, but probably not alot of value.

This won't thrill you, but I have a similar print, though larger and made in Germany ca. 1850. It's a Hansel and Gretel lost in the woods theme, with beautiful rich color. I wanted to get it for my wife as a gift, but there was no price tag. The merchant said "Just take it for free. I've had it for years and I can't sell it."

So........I'd estimte your print at less than $50.00.

Always remember 'Sentimental Value usually far outweighs the Monetary Value'!  :(     :)

Nice print though!
