These playful tapestries, based upon Charles Perrault's Les contes du temps passé and Les contes de ma mère l'oye (Mother Goose Tales), were among a number of tapestries exhibited by Braquenié in the French Annex at the 1874 London International Exhibition. An account of the exhibition, detailed by The Warehousemen and Draper's Trade Journal on 16 May 1874, dutifully described the exhibition hall: 'The Brothers Braquenié, of Paris and Aubusson, occupy the head of the room. Attached to the walls are some striking tapestries [...]. The designs are pictorial and very effective, representing the old familiar stories of Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and Blue Beard'.
