A more pleasant visual


Cataloging today, I was looking for the names of the big 3 Fairytale authors: Grimm, Anderson and i always get stuck on the third which is Perrault (Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty) - Thank you Wikipedia.

I was struck by this illustration. I love the antiquarian childrens fairy tales and their illustrations - the artists are so underrated in the spectrum of the art world.

This is a 1913 illustration is of Beauty and the Beast by Warwick Gable. Who was a wonderful Victorian illustrator.
