EDITORS COMMENTS
The Ogre receives the cat, illustration for Puss in Boots by Charles Perrault (1628-1703) 1883 (engraving) captures a haunting scene from one of Charles Perrault's beloved fairy tales. Created by Gustave Dore, this engraving depicts the moment when the cunning Puss in Boots presents himself to the fearsome Ogre. Intriguingly, despite its gruesome undertones, Dore's artwork showcases his exceptional attention to detail and mastery of composition. The image portrays an enormous ogre seated at a table adorned with plates filled with meat and delicacies. With a mixture of curiosity and trepidation, he gazes upon Puss in Boots as if contemplating his next meal. The contrasting emotions are palpable - fear emanates from the tiny kitten nestled within Puss' boots while determination radiates from our feline hero. This visual narrative encapsulates both cruelty and survival instinct. Dore's engraving not only highlights the dark themes present in Perrault's tale but also serves as a testament to their enduring power. It reminds us that even amidst adversity, cleverness can triumph over brute force. This print is part of a private collection that cherishes artistry inspired by classic literature. It invites viewers to delve into the depths of imagination where animals possess intelligence beyond expectation and where heroes emerge unexpectedly.
