Interpreting Fairy Tale Illustration: Cinderella

Number of Pages 3

3 pages in length. Elenore Abbott's illustration of "Cinderella" in the 1920 printing of Grimm's Fairy Tales brings about an entirely different perspective than to which contemporary society has become accustomed. The most immediate sense one has about Abbott's interpretation is its ethereal countenance and the utter serenity with which the artist captures Cinderella's innocence. Her chosen medium of watercolor serves to enhance this otherworldly tone of the illustration, and the muted hues combine to bring about a calming, gentle feeling. No bibliography.
