Cenerentola
1918
Step into a cozy, slightly sooty kitchen where Cinderella, dressed in patched rags, sits wide-eyed on a wooden stool. She's just been visited by her Fairy Godmother, a delightfully quirky figure sporting a towering red pointed hat, mismatched capes, and a star-tipped wand. Even the striped cat on the stone floor seems captivated by the magical interruption to their daily chores. Created in 1918 for the National Child Welfare Association, this charming illustration brings a whimsical, homey twist to the classic fairy tale, proving that magic can happen even next to a bucket and a broom.
