My grandmother owned a French fairytale book published by the collection "La Bibliothèque rose illustrée" (The Illustrated Pink Library). Her edition was of 1863 - but I recently found a website ith high-resolution pictures of some illustrations taken from a 1920 edition. So I thought of sharing them. Note that this "Fairy Tales" book is actually a compilation of the works of the three most famous literary authors of fairytales: Charles Perrault, madame d'Aulnoy and madame Leprince de Beaumont.
Perrault's Little Thumbling:
Perrault's Bluebeard:
Perrault's Little Red Riding Hood:
Perrault's Sleeping Beauty:
Perrault's Puss in Boots:
Perrault's Riquet with the Tuft:
Madame d'Aulnoy's The Beauty with Golden Hair:
Madame d'Aulnoy's The White Cat:
Madame Leprince de Beaumont's Prince Chéri (Prince Dear/Prince Darling):
Madame Leprince de Beaumont's Beauty and the Beast:

The prince was intrigued by his feline benefactor. He could not believe his good fortune when her curse was lifted and she turned out to be a princess as kind and clever as she was beautiful.

Le Blanc Chat (The White Cat) by Pierre Bonnard. France, 1894
Bonnard painted a number of cats throughout his career, both accompanied by humans and as main subjects, though this is perhaps one of his better known cat paintings. In the preparatory drawings as well as in the final work, one can see that the artist was very indecisive and careful with the composition of this piece, especially in the placement of the paws, with layers and layers of changes. This painting is not naturalistic, but then again, Bonnard often said "art is not nature," so that was never the aim. One can see influences from the Les Nabis movement as well as Japanese art in his use of flat colors and lack of depth. The very subject of a cat is influenced by Japanese art, as Bonnard saw many cats in the Japanese prints that he admired.
All jargon aside, this is a gloriously funky little guy. I love him.
