WorldCat record OCLC 1017305800 gives page count iii+303
-- "Swan Sonnenschein, [1881]"
-- Responsibility "Wilhelm Hauff"
-- "Illustrations by Offterdinger and Bertall" (noted by the library)
-- "with 14 plates and 19 woodcuts" (from the title page)
It may be expected that plates are from the work of one artist and woodcuts from the work of the other.
Nevertheless they are jointly credited below, which should be checked.
Library records for multiple eds./printings suggest that Offterdinger and Bertall first illustrated a stated 14th ed. of Mährchen (German language). {{BL|001616816}} and {{OCLC|255030798}} report that publication (Stuttgart, 1875).
OCLC 76832027 gives page count 303 -- "W. Swan Sonnenschein & Allen, [1882?]" -- Responsibility "W. Hauff" -- "Date of publication from inscription." -- "Publisher's advertisements precede text."
The interpretation here is that those two records report copies of the same edition as by "W. Hauff", which matches the 1903 Swan Sonnenschein edition (viewed at HathiTrust).
