Dorothy Lathrop-The Little Mermaid

 I discovered these beautiful images over on The Art of Narrative-though from 1939, I had never seen these Little Mermaid illustrations before!

  1. I grew up in the late 60's looking at this book in my school library. I so loved the images! Thank you for posting them. I have thought of them many times through the years.

  2. These are beautiful! The Little Mermaid is my favourite fairy tale - I can't believe I never knew about these illustrations before.

    My other favourite illustration of the story is by Christian Birmingham.

  4. has this story with these illustrations ever been found in a collection of fairy tales with dark endings? I had a thick book as a child with almost all fairy tales with similar illustrations but no long have it and am unable to find it online.

  5. Unfortunately I can't help...I only know of these illustrations through the blog I cited in the post. The author of The Art of Narrative may know?
