EDITORS COMMENTS
Illustration, Fundevogel (Fat Cat or The Clever Cat), from the book "Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm" illustrated by Edward Ardizzon, published in 1909. This enchanting illustration depicts the plump and determined woman, Fundevogel, making her way up the wooden staircase, carrying a bucket of water from the well. The scene is reminiscent of an Edwardian era children's book, with its intricate details and vivid colors. Fundevogel's story is one of perseverance and cunning from the Brothers Grimm's collection of German fairy tales. The illustration captures the essence of the tale, as Fundevogel repeatedly goes back and forth to the well to fetch water, using her wit to outsmart a mischievous cat that keeps stealing her buckets. The woman's determined expression and the cat's playful antics are brought to life through the skilled brushstrokes of Edward Ardizzon. The image is a beautiful representation of the rich history of children's literature and the art of illustration in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The intricate details of the wooden staircase, the textured water, and the expressive characters all contribute to the timeless charm of this illustration. This print is a must-have for anyone interested in children's literature, fairy tales, or the history of illustration. It is a captivating piece that can be enjoyed by children and adults alike, and is a testament to the enduring appeal of classic tales and the artistry of their illustrators.
