Bluebeard
Bluebeard is a children's picture book published in London in 1873 by George Routledge & Sons, illustrated by Walter Crane and printed in colour by Edmund Evans for young readers. Its pages pair framed verse with full-colour scenes of a young wife in flowing blue gowns, rich interiors, tiled floors and carved doors, offering a designer examples of decorative borders, Pre-Raphaelite-style costume and Victorian domestic detail.
