“Der Struwwelpeter” (“Shockheaded Peter”), German Film, 1955, Subtitles by Art of Bleeding

More holiday cheer, this time from our friends over at The Art of Bleeding, who have just posted excerpts from the rarely seen 1955 German film “Der Struwwelpeter” (“Shockheaded Peter”) embellished with their own, as they put it, "somewhat creative subtitles." The film is based on Heinrich Hoffmann's infamous, circa 1845 Gorey- and Oompa Loompa-inspiring cautionary children's book in which ill-behaved kinder receive graphic comeuppances for a variety of misbehaviors.

Anatomical Curiosity for the Younger Set Circa 1952

While doing a Google image search for images of girls on ponies (don't ask...), I stumbled across these images from Herbert S. Zim's anatomical children's book What's Inside of Me? on a blog called Look, See. More spreads from the book (and others) reside in the Morbid Anatomy Library.
