EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century print captures the essence of Hans Christian Andersen's beloved fairy tale, "Little Claus and Big Claus". Illustrated by Henry J. Ford, it depicts a scene from the story where Little Claus commands his five horses to gallop ahead while Big Claus tends to their steeds. The image showcases daily life in a Danish farm setting, with an emphasis on rural work and farming tools. The artist skillfully portrays the stark contrast between Little Claus and Big Claus - one small in stature but full of confidence, while the other is larger yet seemingly less capable. This juxtaposition adds depth to the narrative as we witness these two characters navigate their roles as farmers. In this particular moment captured by Ford's illustration, we see Little Claus energetically urging his horses forward with a whip in hand. His determination is palpable as he takes charge of ploughing the field using horse-drawn equipment. Meanwhile, Big Claus attends diligently to their horses' needs, ensuring they are well taken care of during this laborious task. The medieval charm exuded by this artwork transports us back in time when such scenes were commonplace across European countryside landscapes. It serves as a reminder of our agricultural roots and highlights the hard work and dedication required for successful farming. This enchanting print offers viewers a glimpse into both the magical world created by Andersen's fairy tales and the realities of rural life during that era.
