EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment from Charles Perrault's timeless tale, "Le Petit Poucet" (The Little Thumb). Illustrated by an anonymous artist in the late 19th century, it depicts a heart-wrenching scene where the loggers abandon their children. In this evocative imagery by Marcel Vagne, we witness the vulnerability and innocence of these abandoned youngsters. The engraving showcases their wide-eyed expressions filled with fear and confusion as they are left behind in the dense forest. Perrault's story is known for its exploration of themes such as family bonds, resilience, and survival. This illustration beautifully encapsulates those elements as it portrays the struggles faced by these young characters who must navigate through adversity on their own. The intricate details of this artwork highlight the skillful craftsmanship of the unknown artist. From the delicate lines that bring life to each character to the subtle use of shading that adds depth to their surroundings, every aspect contributes to creating a visually striking composition. As we gaze upon this image from Stefano Bianchetti's private collection, we are reminded of both our own childhood fears and our enduring fascination with folklore. It serves as a powerful reminder that even in times of abandonment and uncertainty, there is always hope for triumph over adversity.
