Two Takes on Grimm’s Fairy Tales

Grimm's Fairy Tales One of the best side effects of all the people being involved in the Internet is the exposure to some wonderful treasures that you would not normally get to see.

A-HAA (ASIFA-Hollywood Animated Archive) blog has put up some beautiful Arthur Rackham images from a 1909 first edition Grimm’s Fairy Tales. A-HAA also puts up images from a 1923 edition of Grimm’s Fairy Tales with illustrations from Gustaf Tenggren.

Both posts are a wonderful visual treat.

You can find out more about Rackham or Tenggren
