Bluebeard's Picture Book is a late nineteenth-century illustrated fairy tale collection by Walter Crane, printed in colour by Edmund Evans for children and published in London and New York by John Lane in 1899. The pictures show flat, outlined colour blocks with framed verse, and a designer might take their decorative borders, bold silhouettes and restrained palette as models for storybook pages.
