Charles Perrault

Charles Perrault is best known as the seventeenth-century French author whose fairy tales became foundational texts of the genre, and his name stands behind the narrative material gathered here. The collection holds a single work, Les Contes de Perrault, represented through impressions dated 1864, including later printings up to that year. Because no specific techniques are documented for this sheet, the entry should be read primarily as a record of the tales' circulation in printed form during the nineteenth century rather than as a study of a particular medium.
