1869 Cinderella Glass Slipper Fairy Tale McLoughlin

1869 Cinderella Glass Slipper Fairy Tale McLoughlin Fantasy Color Illustrated

“A dream is a wish your heart makes”

― Disney’s Cinderella

‘Cinderella’ is one of the most famous and well-known folk tales ever told. It embodies the classic characteristics of fantasy and fairy tale and follows a protagonist that must overcome her unfortunately life circumstances, and, using magic, becomes a beautiful princess. The earliest known examples of a ‘Cinderella’ story come from the 1st century; however, the most popular versions come for Charles Perrault in the late 17th-century and the Brothers Grimm a century later.

This undated 19th-century edition of ‘Cinderella’ was one of the first picture books issued by John McLoughlin Jr. after he took over Elton & Company. He used the blocks originally owned by his contemporary Edward Dunigan in the 1840s, but the young McLoughlin made sure that every illustration had multiple colors. This undated edition is complete with color illustrations on every page including the front cover board.
