The Laughable Story, and the Terrible Story
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving by Browne, Hablot Knight (Phiz), depicting two contrasting tales that evoke both laughter and fear. This enchanting artwork, dating back to 1861, showcases the power of storytelling during Christmas time. In this illustration for the Illustrated Times, we witness children gathered around a storyteller who holds their undivided attention. The first story unfolds with joyous laughter as children's faces light up with amusement. Their innocent giggles fill the air as they immerse themselves in a world of mirth and delight. However, just beside them lies another group of children engrossed in an entirely different tale. Their expressions are transformed into ones of fear and anguish as they listen intently to the storyteller's words. The artist skillfully captures their anxiety and angst through his intricate details. This print serves as a reminder of how stories have the power to transport us from one emotional extreme to another. It highlights the profound impact that narratives can have on our emotions, whether it be evoking uncontrollable laughter or instilling deep-seated fears. "The Laughable Story, and the Terrible Story" invites us to reflect on our own experiences with storytelling – those moments when we were captivated by tales that made us laugh until tears streamed down our faces or sent shivers down our spines. It celebrates the magic inherent in sharing stories with others, especially during festive seasons like Christmas when imaginations run wild.
