EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite engraving titled "Beauty and the Beast" by Charles Burton Barber. Created in 1878, this enchanting illustration was originally featured in The Graphic magazine, capturing the hearts of readers with its timeless tale. The image transports us to a picturesque farm setting, where we witness a harmonious coexistence between animals and humans. In the foreground, Beauty stands gracefully amidst a flock of vibrant peacocks, symbolizing her pure spirit and inner beauty. Her gentle presence seems to calm even the wildest creatures around her. Beside Beauty stands the Beast himself - a majestic figure exuding strength and power. Despite his fearsome appearance, there is an undeniable aura of vulnerability surrounding him as he gazes at Beauty with longing eyes. This portrayal reminds us that true beauty lies beyond physical appearances. Surrounding them are various livestock animals peacefully grazing on lush green pastures; pigs roam freely while birds soar above in perfect harmony. This idyllic scene serves as a metaphor for unity among all living beings - regardless of their differences or perceived flaws. Through this masterful artwork, Barber captures not only the essence of love but also emphasizes our responsibility towards nature and its inhabitants. It invites viewers to reflect upon our own relationships with others and encourages compassion towards all creatures great and small. This remarkable print from Bridgeman Images allows us to bring home this extraordinary piece of artistry that continues to inspire generations with its profound message of acceptance, love, and respect for both
