Asschepoester 1865 - 1875

"Asschepoester" is a series of eight illustrations depicting the fairytale of Cinderella created by Dutch artist George Lodewijk Funke between 1865 and 1875. The illustrations, each with a Dutch caption describing the scene, are printed on a single page and portray key moments in the story. Funke, known for his illustrations in children's books, uses a detailed and expressive style to bring the classic fairy tale to life. These wood engravings, with their simple, direct narratives, would have been enjoyed by children of the time.
