Nacido en Biebrich-Mosbach, Nassau, en 1849, Schlitt es conocido por sus humorísticas ilustraciones y diseños con enanos, sagas y cuentos de hadas. Schlitt recibió clases inicialmente del artista de Wiesbaden, Kaspar Kögler, y posteriormente estudió en la Academia de Bellas Artes de Múnich con Wilhelm Lindenschmit a partir de 1875 (fecha de este dibujo). Schlitt trabajó con éxito como ilustrador para el periódico Illustrated Newspaper y las revistas Overland and Sea, Daheim y Schalk; su obra se hizo conocida gracias a estas revistas. También fue uno de los artistas principales de la firma de cerámica Villeroy \u0026amp; Boch, diseñando, en particular, vasijas para beber, que hoy en día son muy coleccionables. Sus apreciados frescos pintados también adornan las paredes del Rathskeller (ayuntamiento) de Múnich y Wiesbaden. En este estudio, Schlitt ha dibujado varios detalles de la indumentaria medieval alemana, incluyendo tocados y joyas. El marcado contorno de algunas ilustraciones da la apariencia de vidrieras medievales, y de hecho, una lleva la inscripción «Nach eine Glascheibe» («Tras un panel de vidrio»). Cada ilustración está inscrita en alemán, incluyendo: «Goldkappe mit seinen Schleier darmuster c. 1490» (gorro dorado con sus diseños de velo); 'Goldhaube mit Schleien—eine Ohrmuschel mit Perlen besetzt circa 1490' (capucha dorada con presillas—una orejera con perlas circa 1490) y 'Edelmann c.1480 mit Goldkette' (noble c.1480 con collar de oro).
