EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph titled "The Giant and the Pygmies" artist George Wharton Edwards brings to life a scene from Nathaniel Hawthorne's beloved Tanglewood Tales for Girls and Boys. The print, now part of a private collection, showcases the imagination and skill of both the author and illustrator. Set against a backdrop of lush foliage, we see an imposing giant towering over a group of tiny pygmies. The contrast in size is striking, emphasizing the power dynamics at play in this mythical encounter. With intricate details etched into every figure, Edwards masterfully captures their expressions - fear on the faces of the pygmies as they gaze up at their colossal adversary, while the giant appears curious yet benevolent. This engraving transports us back to Hawthorne's enchanting world where fantastical creatures coexist with humans. Through his storytelling prowess and Edwards' artistic interpretation, we are reminded that appearances can be deceiving; even giants possess gentleness within them. "The Giant and the Pygmies" serves as a visual testament to Hawthorne's enduring legacy as one of America's greatest storytellers. It invites viewers young and old to delve into Tanglewood Tales once more or discover it for the first time. As we contemplate this mesmerizing print by Bridgeman Images, let us embrace our own imaginations and embark on journeys filled with wonderment just like those found within its frames.
