I prefer the new. They capture my attention.
ReplyDeleteBoth good but I vote new.
ReplyDeleteI prefer the old illustrations.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm going with the old illustrations, mostly because I think *wood cut* designs are one of my favorite forms of art :D
ReplyDeleteI like the new one.
ReplyDeleteI really like both old and new fairytale art/illustrations. But I'll go with new since I read a lot of fairytale books with illustrations by Kinuko Y. Craft as a kid.
ReplyDeleteOld. Woodcut illustrations are always extremely whimsical to me. I've seen them in so many of my favorite books growing up.
ReplyDeleteNew.
ReplyDeleteDo I really have to choose? >_< They are both extremely beautiful in their own way. I can't compare them. ><
ReplyDeleteIt's a draw! :P
The detail in the old is incredible.

I like the new one better.
ReplyDeleteThe new is beautiful and of course I love the colors, but I'm going to have to go with the old. I'm a sucker for old stuff.
ReplyDeleteThat depends, but in general I prefer old illustrations, I could study some originals by Durero and these are incredible.
ReplyDeleteI prefer the old one it just seems to fit the fairy tale better!!!
ReplyDeleteI prefer the new one. I like the colors :)
ReplyDeleteI think both versions have their merit.
ReplyDeleteI love color but I also like classic and romantic figures better than some new interpretations.
I actually prefer the new,
ReplyDeletemore colours
=)
I prefer the artistry of the first one, but which it was in color LOL Art is so subjective isn't it?
ReplyDeletetotally not fair. Can you really compare the two? I love the detail in the old. But I'll agree the color in the new draws the eye quicker.
ReplyDeleteI'll say the old...
I kinda like the new one.
