EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving titled "Better sweetness rather than violence" by French School, dating back to the 19th century, showcases a powerful message through its intricate details. The print, part of a private collection, was published by Pellerin & Cie and is reminiscent of the late 19th-century Imagerie D'Epinal style. In this thought-provoking image, we are transported into a world where morality and virtue triumph over vice and violence. The enchanting scene depicts various characters from beloved fairy tales such as Tom Thumb, Little Red Riding Hood, and Mother Goose embarking on thrilling adventures together. The artist skillfully captures the essence of childhood innocence while conveying an important lesson about choosing goodness over evil. Amidst swirling clouds and towering trees stands an imposing ogre or giant who represents the embodiment of violence. However, it is clear that these brave children have chosen a different path - one filled with sweetness and compassion. As we delve into this mesmerizing comic strip-like composition, we are reminded of the enduring power of storytelling in shaping young minds. This illustration serves as both entertainment for children and a gentle reminder for adults about the importance of teaching values to future generations. Through its vibrant colors and whimsical imagery, this historic artwork continues to inspire us to embrace kindness instead of aggression in our interactions with others. It reminds us that even in fantastical worlds filled with giants and ogres; it is better to choose sweetness over violence.
