Summary:
"The most familiar
fairy
tales
call to mind certain images: Little Red Riding Hood, Puss in Boots, Snow White, Cinderella, Rapunzel, Sleeping Beauty. Yet these visions often merely reflect illustrations encountered in classic tellings of the
tales
. The
postcards
gathered here tell another story - of the remarkable range of interpretations and reimaginings these
tales
have inspired, captured, and conveyed
picture
by
picture
in this singular form. A pictorial history of fairy-tale
postcards
from the late nineteenth century to the present. A fascinating look at how key scenes of
fairy
tales
have been rendered over time, suggesting a rethinking and reliving of the
tales
through
the years. Drawn from the author's collection of fairy-tale
postcards
from around the world, these five hundred beautiful illustrations reproduce oil paintings, watercolors, photographs, ink drawings, and silhouettes - all evincing the myriad ways popular artists and their audiences have reimagined these
tales
. After an introduction and general history of
fairy
tales
in
postcards
, the book features Jack Zipes's own translations of the most classical
fairy
tales
in Europe and the United States, including versions by Charles Perrault and by Brothers Grimm. The
fairy
tale is not just once upon a time: it is, as fairy-tale postcard, a particular if not peculiar expression of a time, created by talented artists and innovative publishing companies"--Provided by publisher.
