Media: Tenggren's Grimm's Fairy Tales
This post is just the tip of the iceberg... see The Top Ten Reasons To Support The A-HAA for more jaw dropping images from classic illustrated books.
This is a real treat... an extremely rare 1923 edition of Grimm's Fairy Tales illustrated by Gustaf Tenggren. If you've been following the ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive Blog for a while, you'll remember our previous postings: Tenggren's Tell It Again Book Part One and Part Two, The Little Trapper, Small Fry and the Winged Horse, and Heidi, Wonderbook and Juan and Juanita.
For more incredible illustration by Gustaf Tenggren, see... Tenggren's Tell It Again Book Part One and Part Two, D'Aulnoy Fairy Tales and The Good Dog Book, Heidi, Wonderbook and Juan & Juanita, and Sing For Christmas.
See also...

Andersen Part One and Part Two.

really cool. It kinda reminds me of John Bauer.
Thank you so much.

hello Stephen, I am Fabio from Chile and my software of instantaneous translation… (again) There was a sketcher in my country, called CORÉ who has very pretty works. Perhaps also they interest to you…. FP
Can you scan some art by Core at 600 dots per inch for us?
Thanks
Steve
Beautiful imaginative work, thanks for sharing.
Classic stuff.
Those are amazing!
Thanks for sharing this.
There is a quality about these works that remind me of Andrew Wyeth.
Looks like Rick Griffin saw this book shortly before he did his 1973 LP illustrations for the Grateful Dead- note especially the crows.
I have just sent three hours looking at the illustrations I knew as a child (I'm in my 60's now). I can't begin to express the wonderful emotions they evoke and I'll be back for more long-term perusal. However, could someone PLEASE give em a clue how these were accomplished. Is is watercolour, pen and ink, gouache?
You can reach me on largelyhappy@hotmail.com
Many thanks - especially to the marvellous person who set up this archive - you are an absolute honey :-)
