I'm writing about Marissa Meyer's Cinder for my thesis, and I've been looking at the different iterations of Cinderella through the years. I love how various illustrations/images of Cinderella reflect the time period in which they were created. Check out this progression from the 1800s until today:
George Cruikshank (1792-1878)
Arthur Rackham (1867-1939)
Harry Clarke (1889-1931)
Walt Disney (Film: 1950)
The New Yorker (1993)
Dina Goldstein (2009)
And for giggles (and related to that last image), let's not forget Kristen Wiig's hilarious drunk Cinderella:
Finally, there is some wonderful fan art on the internet for Marissa Meyer's Cinder (2012), whose Cinderella character is a working-class cyborg mechanic with metal limbs. I'm especially fond of this image:
