Beauty and the Beast: Pictures

 Pictures of Beauty and the Beast


Here are some images from the fairy tale Beauty and the Beast. They are arranged in alphabet order. All are Public Domain due the time of death of creators (70+ years).

Anne Anderson (1874-1952)

Anne Anderson's Old, Old Fairy Tales is a collection of about 20 classic fairy tales published by Whitman Publishing Company, Racine, Wisconsin, USA in 1935 and reprinted several times by different publishers.

Richard Andre (1834-1907)

Richard Andre adapted the story of Beauty and the Beast into a toy book, published by Dean & Son, London in 1880. The book is a base for home theater, promoting active listening and creative thinking among children (and their parents too).

Ada Leonora Bowley (1866-1943)


I don’t have much information about the illustration above. Ada Leonora Bowley made most of her pictures together with her sister but this project (including several black and white drawings) seems to be her own brainchild. The pictures were created and published around 1920.

Eleanor Vere Boyle (1825-1916)


This book is considered the finest among Eleanor Vere Boyle’s (or E.V.B.’s as she signed herself) works. It was published by Sampson Low, Marston, Low, and Searle and printed by R. Clay, Sons, and Taylor in London around 1875. The quality of printing is spectacular for those times.

Gordon Browne (1858-1932)

 

The illustrations above come from Beauty and the Beast rewritten by Laura Elizabeth Howe Richards (1850-1943) and published by Blackie and Son, London, Glasgow, Edinburgh & Dublin in 1886.

John Callcott Horsley (1817-1903)

As you can see, the illustrator decided to portray the tale in a more exotic, Eastern environment. The picture book was published under the title: Beauty and the Beast: An Entirely New Edition. With Pictures by an Eminent Artist by Joseph Cundall, London in 1843.

Alfred Concanen (1835-1886)

The picture above doesn’t come from the book but was designed for the poster for the music cover of the fairy tale.

John Conder (1868-1909)


The story of Beauty & the Beast: the complete fairy story was printed by Lemercier in Paris in 300 copies. The publisher was William Clowes & Sons, Limited, London. 260 of which are for sale in England and America. The project is dated 1895.

Walter Crane (1845-1915)


Walter Crane’s vision of Beauty and the Beast is one of the most well-known ones, done in his signature Arts and Crafts style with an astonishing amount of details. Edmond Evans, printer and publisher offered it to the marked as a stand-alone picture book and in combination with two other fairy tales: The Frog Prince and The Hind in the Wood.

John Dickson Batten (1860-1932)


Thomas Edward Donnison (1861-1903)

Cinderella Images

Slika
The Biggest Collection of Free Cinderella Pictures on the Planet While this title looks a bit bombastic, the simple fact is, that nowhere else you can't find more free images of Cinderella. All of them have known authorship and all the artists died more than 70 years ago, which makes all the presented paintings, illustrations, and other pictures Public Domain in the European Union and most other countries. Most of the images in this article were also created before 1923 which makes them Public Domain in the USA. In some very specific cases, an additional inquiry about copyright holders is suggested. Let's look at the Cinderella pics! John Absolon (1815-1895) Cinderella comes to the ball. The glass slipper fits perfectly. Frank Adams (1871-1944) The illustration was made for Blackie & Son, as most of Frank Adams' illustrations for children.
