The individual wood engraving for sale is SLEEPING BEAUTY (\"La Belle au Bois Dormant\"), from \"Les Contes de Perrault\" — or, \"Fairy Tales Retold by Perrault\", illustrated by Gustave Doré. Doré's 40+ full-page wood engraved plates fill the book. The book itself had blue cloth binding, with embossed gilt decorations; unfortunately, the boards were completely destroyed. The famous fairytales of Charles Perrault (1628-1703) include Little Red Riding Hood, Puss in Boots, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, and many more. Doré's (1832-1883) full-page illustrations are remarkable and perfect for framing. Each page is on the book's original heavy stock paper, and measures approximately 17\" x 12\", with the actual engraving measuring 11\" x 9\". Each is signed in-plate by Gustave Doré, and is blank on the reverse.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eFoxing present to plain cream edging; small tears and chipping to edges; engraving itself is clean, save for a small rubbed area to the upper corner (on the suit of armor).
