Rex Pitts on World of Playing Cards (online source): "Alongside their magnificent range of luxury playing cards, Dondorf also produced a varied range of games for children. This example based on the “Der Struwwelpeter” stories first published in 1847 was evidently made for export to Holland, Belgium and France as it is accompanied by bi-lingual instructions. It was published in UK by A.N. Myers in c.1890. The game contains 9 sets of four cards numbered consecutively. Each set is like a comic strip with a moral lesson, telling a story about a naughty child who gets into trouble for such things as disobeying their parents, bad table manners, harming animals or making fun of foreigners." Every four cards form a Struwwelpeter story together and shopuld be collected by the players. Cf. '150 Jahre Struwwelpeter. Das ewig junge Kinderbuch' (Schweiz 1995 - German ed.) mentioning that the Frankfurter publisher B. Dondorf distributed the game in various languages from 1886.
