Tenggren's D'aulnoy

Here's a book that has survived by the skin of it's binding, sharing its treasure of Gustaf Tenggren's 1923 fairy tale illustrations. With shades of Rackham and Dulac, Tenggren still brings his own vision to the art.

    Very Dulac/Rackham/Tenggren as he used to draw for a moment.

    The male character in the third image is surprisingly similar to one of the figures in Ilya Repin's painting of the Cossacks:
