In 1874, the fairy tale 'Cinderella' was performed at the Circus Oscar Carré in Amsterdam, with the production enacted almost entirely by children. Following this successful performance, a retelling of Charles Perrault's well-known children's story, 'Cinderella' penned by Jan Schenkman and titled "Asschepoester in het Cirque Carré' was published in Amsterdam by G. Theod. Bom in 1874. - This edition dating from circa 1890 is a later adaptation of that original publication. The picture book features full-page illustrations depicting a performance of 'Cinderella' within a circus setting, including a double-page spread in the center. The text itself, however, is simply the classic fairy tale; there is no mention of Carré, nor is the circus recognizable as such. The front cover shows two children portraying Cinderella and the Prince, framed within an oval featuring decorative borders. The back cover contains advertisements for the publisher. Cf. Lust & Leering, p. 274-277. (Order here or send us your inquiry: 316875 )
