Abstract

In the early illustrations of Charles Perrault’s fairy tales, there are no dressed-up wolves, no fairies with pointed hats, and no transformations. Do these images lack any sense of wonder, or is there another type of magic at work? This study offers an analysis of the visual strategies employed by the illustrator of Contes de ma Mère l’Oye, along with reflections on the question of why these strategies were used.
