The illustrator: Gustave Staal (1820–1882) was a French illustrator, particularly celebrated for his detailed and poignant illustrations that graced many 19th-century literary works. His ability to capture the essence of a narrative in a single image made him a sought-after artist during his time. Bertall, a pseudonym for Charles Albert d'Arnoux (1820–1882), was one of the most prolific illustrators of the 19th century. His diverse and multifaceted talent led him to work on various publications, bringing characters and tales to life with his distinctive style. Accompanying them in this edition are works by the talented engravers Gusman and Cordier, who have meticulously transformed the illustrators' visions into intricate engravings, adding depth and texture to the tales.
