The Big Book of Fairy Tales, illustrated by Charles Robinson, was edited by Walter Jerrold and published by Blackie and Son Limited in 1911. These are a few of my favorite color illustrations, particularly those from "Beauty and the Beast," "Cinderella," and "Hansel and Grethel." I love the patterned design elements, the understated colors, the contrast, and the expression in the faces.
