Description

I created these miniature collections from public domain images, cleaned up and mounted each one separately on identically sized "cards" and mounted them on a white background. The collection can be framed and hung, or each card can be cut out for scrapbooking, children's collections and other activities.
The author of these tales, Sophie Rostopchine, Comtesse de Ségur, née Sofiya Feodorovna Rostopchina, was born on 1st August 1799. She was a French writer of Russian birth, having spent her early life in the city of Saint Petersburg. She died died on 9th February 1874, in Paris, France. (And she lived a fascinating life in between these skeleton dates!) She was seventy-four years old.

The illustrator, Virginia Frances Sterrett, was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1900. Sterrett received her first commission at the age of 19 (shortly after she was diagnosed with tuberculosis) from the Penn Publishing Company to illustrate Old French Fairy Tales (1920), a collection of works from the 19th-century French author, Comtesse de Ségur.
