EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment from Hans Christian Andersen's timeless tale, "The Emperor's New Clothes". Published in 1911, this stunning colour lithograph by Lefler and Urban transports us into the heart of the story. In this scene, we witness the bare truth as the Emperor parades through the streets with no clothes on. The art nouveau style beautifully enhances the deceitful atmosphere surrounding this fairytale narrative. The vibrant colours and intricate details bring to life every aspect of this iconic procession. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost feel the tension in the air as chamberlains hold up an invisible canopy above their naked ruler. Deceived by cunning tricksters who promised him a magnificent outfit only visible to those worthy of their positions, it becomes clear that honesty has been replaced by dishonesty. This children's story holds a powerful message about vanity and gullibility that resonates even today. It reminds us that appearances can be deceiving and encourages us to question what is truly valuable beyond superficiality. "The Emperor's New Clothes" remains an enduring classic loved by both young and old alike. This print serves as a visual reminder of its enchanting power and invites viewers to delve into its magical world once more.
