EDITORS COMMENTS
In this illustration from the 19th century, we are transported into the world of Charles Perrault's timeless tale, "Le Petit Poucet". The scene depicts a pivotal moment in the story where the ogre's wife, with her sinister gaze and menacing smile, heats Little Poucet and his brothers by a crackling fire. The engraving beautifully captures the essence of French literature as it portrays an imaginary character brought to life through art. The attention to detail is evident in every stroke, from the intricate patterns on the woman's dress to the flickering flames that dance within the fireplace. As we delve into this enchanting image, we can almost feel ourselves sitting beside Little Poucet and his brothers, their faces flushed with fear and anticipation. The warmth of the fire contrasts sharply with their vulnerable figures huddled together. This illustration serves as a reminder of our own childhood experiences; moments when homemade stories ignited our imagination and transported us to far-off lands filled with adventure and danger. It evokes memories of late nights spent under blankets reading tales that sparked our curiosity. Through this artwork, Stefano Bianchetti invites us to revisit these cherished moments from our past while also paying homage to Charles Perrault's enduring legacy. It reminds us that even in a world filled with ogres and challenges, there is always hope for brave little heroes like Le Petit Poucet who overcome adversity through wit and resilience.
