EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Out of the Thicket stepped a Tall Old Woman" transports viewers into the enchanting world of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales. Created by an anonymous Danish artist in the 19th century, this print captures a pivotal moment from one of Andersen's beloved stories. The image depicts a dense thicket, with twisted branches and tangled foliage creating an air of mystery. Emerging from this wild landscape is a tall old woman, her presence commanding attention. Her weathered face tells tales of wisdom and experience, while her flowing robes hint at her mystical nature. This scene is reminiscent of Andersen's story "Little Christina" where the protagonist encounters various magical beings during her journey through the forest. The tall old woman serves as both guide and guardian to Christina as she navigates through trials and tribulations. The intricate details in this engraving draw viewers deeper into its narrative, inviting them to imagine themselves alongside Little Christina on her fantastical adventure. It is no wonder that this illustration was chosen for H. B Paull's translation of Andersen's Fairy Tales published by Frederick Warne around 1890. Through Bridgeman Images' fine art collection, we are granted access to timeless masterpieces like this one – capturing not only our imagination but also reminding us of the enduring power and beauty found within fairy tales.
