1862rif. 79664Paris: Hetzel 1862. Fine. Hetzel Paris 1862 29.90 x 42.10 cm une feuille Original wood engraving signed in the plate by the artist and engraver. Composition created by Gustave Doré and engraved by Boetzel on China paper and mounted on Holland laid paper at the request of publisher Hetzel to illustrate his folio edition of Perrault's Contes in 1862. Occasional light worming in margins not affecting the engraving. These illustrations for the Contes are considered the most successful of this text: Gustave Doré offers an unprecedented dramatic vision. With him everything contributes to the dramatization of the tale from the theatrical staging of the composition to the smallest details that generate terrifying realism through the technique known as ""tinted wood."" He uses India ink or gouache previously diluted as required by the ""wash"" technique. For Perrault's tales the eleven best engravers of the period were employed to engrave with the burin the forty wooden plates: Pannemaker Pisan Pierdon Maurand Boetzel Brevière Hébert Deschamps Dumont Delduc and Fagnon. Gustave Doré's work in illustrating the Contes is paramount; he does not reduce engraving to its ornamental function but transforms it into a true object of narration. These illustrations are Doré's most famous works and immediately received enthusiastic reviews notably that of Sainte-Beuve in Les Nouveaux lundis December 23 1861: ""A Perrault like there never was until now and like there will never be again. . I can only say that these drawings seem very beautiful to me richly and opulently turned that they have a grandiose character that renews the aspect of these humble tales and restores to them their first marvel prior to Perrault himself.""
