Illustrations for a children’s book of fairy tales .
Original artworks from the 1950s
A booklet containing 16 drawings in pencil on every page.
The title page suggests it was produced by the Amex Company Limited, London W1.
The drawings illustrate familiar fairy stories: The Three Bears, Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Jack and The Beansalk etc.
The artist is unknown.
Size: 22 x 24 cms or 8 1/2 x 9 1/2 inches.
Condition: Very Good. The paper upon which the images are drawn is quite fine, lightly marked and creased in places. The drawings are on one side of the paper only though some of the pages have been stuck together to create a book. They might be gently pried apart however. Two drawings are missing corners. Tape has damaged one drawing - Beauty and The Beast - and marked another - Puss in Boot. Tape also marks, very faintly, another image of Puss in Boots. The pages are not numerically correctly ordered. Some of the drawings have been annotated in pencil and biro pen by the editor of the book.
