The Brothers Grimm published it in 1812 in the first edition of their collection "Grimms ' Fairy Tales ". It was titled in German: "Sneewittchen " (in modern orthography "Schneewittchen ") and numbered as Tale 53. The Grimms completed their final revision of the story in 1854. The fairy tale features such elements as the magic mirror, the poisoned apple, the glass coffin, and the characters of the evil queen and the seven dwarfs, who were first given individual names in the Broadway play "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs " (1912) and then given different names in Walt Disney 's 1937 film "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs ".
