Danuta Imielska-Gebethner.

'Czerwony Kapturek' (Little Red Riding Hood) written by Jan Brzechwa and illustrated by Danuta Imielska-Gebethner, with wonderful nature studies and musical lacy line work. 

Chapbook 1850

'The History of Little Red Riding Hood', Publiished 1850 London by J. L. Marks. 91, Long Lane, Smithfield. Illustrated with hand coloured etchings. 

Chapbook 1820

 

A 'chapbook' this time from 1820, with a particularly creepy cover, 'The entertaining story of Little Red Riding Hood ; and Tom Thumb's toy : adorned with cuts', so this is a woodcut illustrated booklet, published in York by J. Kendrew.

Unattributed 1843

'Little Red Riding Hood : an entirely new edition : with new pictures by an eminent artist', text by Felix Summerly (1808-1882) published 1843, by Joseph Cundall. I have tried to search the tiny signature and the image but I cannot decipher the unattributed 'eminent artist', however the delicate black and white illustrations are very lovely and I like seeing the different renditions of this tale through the ages.

The Book of Fables and Folk StoriesAuthor/Editor: Horace Elisha Scudder, published by Houghton Mifflin Boston, 1919 Illustrated by D. J. Munro.

This is the only Red Riding Hood illustration in this book of a large collection of Folk stories, Fables and Fairy tales. The illustrations all have that wonderful elegance of early 20th century Art Nouveau.

1870 Unattributed

Illustrations for Warne's National Nursery Library, published by Frederick Warne, London 1870. The artist is unfortunately unattributed. The illustrations (etchings) are very skilled full of wonderful observations of nature, expression and clothing.

Eve Morel

Fairy tales and fables, edited and illustrated by Eve Morel, published 1977, the vey sweet illustrations here, are very much of their time, the cabbage patch doll era.

Hilde Langen

 

'Little Red Riding Hood' a rare book 'with moving parts' verses by Martha Strachwitz, translated by Barbara Betteridge  illustrated by Hilde Langen. Published in 1960.  I like the red illustrations and plain colour text surrounds more than the colour plates that are more primitive.
