EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting illustration, we are transported into the world of Charles Perrault's timeless tale, "Le Petit Poucet". The scene captures a pivotal moment as the ogre's wife opens the door to Little Poucet and his brothers. Painted by an unknown artist in the 19th century, this engraving brings to life the magic and wonder of French folklore. The image depicts a small group of children standing before a grand wooden door, their wide-eyed expressions reflecting both fear and determination. Little Poucet, with his distinct red cap and confident stance, takes center stage as he leads his siblings through this perilous encounter. The ogre's wife is portrayed with exaggerated features that emphasize her monstrous nature - from her towering height to her sharp teeth peeking out from beneath her sinister smile. As viewers, we are drawn into this fantastical world where imagination reigns supreme. We can almost hear the creaking of the door hinges and feel our hearts race alongside these brave young heroes. This illustration serves as a reminder of the power of storytelling to transport us beyond reality and ignite our sense of adventure. With its rich details and evocative composition, this print invites us to delve deeper into Perrault's beloved tale while celebrating the enduring legacy it has left on literature for generations past and present.
