Contes de Perrault
A 1904 Paris edition of Charles Perrault's fairy tales, with illustrations by Antoinette Lix and Gustave Staal, drawn for a general readership of children and families. The pictures are black-and-white line engravings in a fine, hatched style showing costumed interiors, with a figure in a dark cloak gesturing at a fainting woman, a richly dressed court group with a kneeling page, and two girls in a quiet exchange, giving designers examples of storybook staging, period costume and expressive gesture.
