EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "HARRIS: UNCLE REMUS, 1895. The Wonderful Tar-Baby Story" takes us back to the late 19th century America, where African American literature and folk tales were gaining recognition. The pen-and-ink drawing by Arthur Burdett Frost beautifully captures the essence of Joel Chandler Harris' iconic folktale. In this illustration, we are transported into a world filled with enchantment and adventure. A young child sits engrossed in Uncle Remus' storytelling as he narrates the tale of Brer Rabbit's encounter with the mischievous Tar-Baby. The intricate details bring each character to life - from Brer Rabbit's cunning expression to the sly grin on Brer Fox's face. The significance of this image lies not only in its artistic brilliance but also in its cultural importance. It represents a time when African American voices began to be heard through literature, challenging stereotypes and showcasing their rich heritage. As we delve into this page from history, we can appreciate how art has the power to transport us across time and space. It reminds us that stories have always been an integral part of human existence, connecting generations and cultures alike. This print is a testament to the talent of both Arthur Burdett Frost and Joel Chandler Harris, whose collaboration brought forth timeless characters that continue to captivate readers even today.
