Histoire de Barbe-bleue qiu égorgea ses femmes : Ornée de 10 grav. coloriées
A coloured 1847 French children's chapbook of the Bluebeard fairy tale, published by Baumgaertner, with ten hand-coloured engravings telling the story of a nobleman and his wives. The pictures show richly dressed 17th-century figures in domestic interiors with curtains, fireplaces and tiled floors, and a designer could take their flat, bright palette and clear staging of costume and gesture for period storytelling scenes.
