EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration of "Beauty and the Beast" by Walter Crane, dating back to the 19th century. The artwork, part of a private collection, beautifully captures the essence of this timeless tale. In this enchanting scene, we witness a young girl standing before a monstrous boar-like creature. Despite its ugliness and ferocity, there is an undeniable connection between them - love transcends appearances. This French folktale explores themes of inner beauty and true love's transformative power. Walter Crane's intricate drawing skillfully brings together elements from the story: the beastly animal form, symbolizing both fear and strength; the monkey companion representing mischief and curiosity; and our heroine embodying grace and innocence. The image transports us into a world where imagination reigns supreme. It serves as a reminder that even in our own lives, it is essential to look beyond surface-level judgments to discover genuine beauty within others. Originally penned by Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont in 18th-century France, "Beauty and the Beast" has captured hearts for centuries with its profound message about acceptance and compassion. Leonard de Selva's expert photography allows us to appreciate every delicate stroke of Crane's artistry while preserving its historical significance for generations to come.
