Grimm's Fairy Tales - 1883
"Grimms' Fairy Tales" is a collection of German fairy tales by the Grimm brothers, Jacob and Wilhelm, first published in 1812[1][2]. The collection was revised and enlarged seven times between 1819 and 1857. The book has had many publishers and illustrators over the years, including R. Worthington and George Cruikshank in 1882[1]. The Grimm brothers are known for their contributions to the modern study of folklore, and their work has had a significant impact on literature and popular culture[3].George Cruikshank (1792-1878) was a British caricaturist and book illustrator who illustrated books for children and adults, including the first English translation of Grimm's Fairy Tales[1]. He was considered the most important graphic artist working in England by 1835[2]. Cruikshank used his artistic platform to voice his opposition to the Industrial Revolution[2]. His illustrations for Grimm's Fairy Tales were widely praised, but his own rewriting of fairy tales was criticized, most prominently by Charles Dickens[1].Walter Crane (1845-1915) and E.H. Wehnert (1813-1868) were both illustrators of books, including "Grimm's Fairy Tales" published in 1896[1] [2] [3]. Wehnert was an English-born painter of landscape, genre, and historical subjects, best remembered for his illustrations in books and magazines[4]. Crane was an English artist and book illustrator who was part of the Arts and Crafts movement[5]Source: perplexity.aikeyword: printsforsale
