In 1862 the book Les Contes de Perrault [Perrault’s Fairy Tales] was published in Paris, a modified edition of the book Contes de ma Mère l´Oye [Tales of Mother Goose], whose first publication is from 1697 and whose author is supposed to be the French writer Charles Perrault (1628-1703). The 1862 edition contains a little less than four dozen illustrations by the French artist Gustave Doré (1832-1883). Our essay aims to analyze some of these Doré’s gravures in comparison to Perrault’s tales referred in these illustrations. Although a total equivalence is not always possible, some of these illustrations present a rich dialog both with the referred tales and in relation to the comparative perspective between text and image.
