EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving of "The Little Thumb" by Charles Perrault, a renowned French writer. The artwork, created by Gustave Dore in the 19th century, depicts a chilling scene where a giant ruthlessly cuts his daughters' throats without hesitation. The image is filled with symbolism and evokes strong emotions. Perrault's fairy tale explores dark themes within its enchanting narrative, highlighting the consequences of greed and cruelty. Dore's intricate detailing brings this haunting moment to life, capturing the tension between innocence and malevolence. The composition features a sleeping child amidst an atmosphere of danger and violence. The knife held by the giant serves as a stark reminder of the perils faced by those who dare to challenge authority or venture into unfamiliar territories. Through this powerful visual representation, we are reminded of Perrault's literary genius and his ability to convey profound messages through storytelling. This particular engraving reflects on human nature while also shedding light on societal issues prevalent during Perrault's time. As viewers engage with this thought-provoking piece, they are invited to delve deeper into the complexities of literature and art history. It serves as a testament to both Perrault's enduring legacy as one of France's greatest writers and Dore's remarkable talent as an illustrator.
