EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving, titled "Illustration for 'Riquet a la houppe'" transports us to the enchanting world of Charles Perrault's famous tale. Created by Imaging Pellerin in late 19th century Epinal, this print captures the essence of French literature and folklore. The illustration depicts a young girl standing before an intricately designed mirror, her reflection revealing the hidden beauty within. The delicate lines and exquisite details bring to life the magic that lies at the heart of Perrault's story. Perrault, a renowned French writer from the 17th century, is celebrated for his collection of fairy tales which have become timeless classics. "Riquet a la houppe" tells the tale of a seemingly ugly prince who possesses wisdom beyond measure. Through his encounters with a beautiful but shallow princess, he teaches us about inner beauty and true love. The vibrant colors used in this wood engraving add depth and richness to the scene. The warm hues evoke feelings of nostalgia while capturing our imagination as we delve into this beloved folktale. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded of Perrault's enduring legacy and how his stories continue to captivate readers across generations. This print serves as both an homage to French literature and an invitation to explore the magical realms created by writers like Perrault.
