1867 Child Danger Dore Gustave Lantern Night Perrault Shelter Stair Case Tom Thumb Typeface
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this wood engraving after Gustave Doré, we are transported into the enchanting world of Perrault's "Tom Thumb". The scene depicts a pivotal moment in the story where Tom and his siblings find themselves seeking shelter from danger. As they approach a mysterious house, their weary hearts are filled with hope. The exterior of the house stands tall and imposing, its dark silhouette contrasting against the night sky. A young girl cautiously ascends the staircase leading to the entrance, her face illuminated by a lantern she carries. She is Mrs. Ogre, whose unexpected kindness offers solace to these vulnerable children. Gustave Doré's intricate illustration captures both the eerie atmosphere and tender humanity within this tale. Every detail is meticulously rendered - from the delicate typeface that accompanies Perrault's name to each stroke of Doré's masterful hand. This 1867 French print transports us back to a time when folklore held great power over our imaginations. It reminds us that even in moments of darkness, there can be flickers of light and compassion that guide us towards safety. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork from The Granger Collection, we cannot help but marvel at how it encapsulates both danger and respite within its frames. It serves as a timeless reminder that sometimes unexpected allies can emerge in our darkest hours – just like Mrs. Ogre did for Tom Thumb and his siblings all those years ago.
