“Cinderella.” Grimm’s Household Fairy Tales, translated by Ella Boldey, with illustrations by R. André, New York: McLoughlin Bros., 1890, pp. 106-111.
Description
The three black and white illustrations of this version reinforce the depressing emotions expressed in the story. Certain instances of the story are chosen to be depicted instead of others and they all point to Cinderella’s way of escape from the oppression of her stepmother and stepsisters: Cinderella in the kitchen with the white dove, Cinderella receiving the dress from the birds, and the prince holding her shoe. Loving and kind Cinderella never prevents her stepsisters from attending the festivities for her wedding. However, karma catches up with her stepsisters in the end.

Abstract
Poor Cinderella, at least, had a hazel bush where a white dove makes any of Cinderella’s wishes come true. She leaves behind a small golden slipper at the ball and her two stepsisters try cutting off a toe or a heel to fit into the small shoe. Kind Cinderella, about to be wed, allowed her horrible stepsisters to join the festivities, where the doves from the hazel bush pecked out their eyes so the stepsisters were blind for the rest of their lives.
