The Drop of Water. 19th-century artwork of an old man using a loupe (hand lens) to obtain a magnified view of a drop of water. This artwork,by Edward Henry Wehnert (1813-1868),was drawn to illustrate the tale 'The Drop of Water' from 'Andersen's Tales for Children' (1861). The original tale,by Danish author Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875),was written in 1848. It tells how the old man (Kribble-Krabble) looked at the drop of water and saw how 'thousands of little creatures hopped and sprang and tugged at one another,and ate each other up.' | |
