EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard print of The Little Red Riding Hood, created in 1917 during the tumultuous years of World War I, offers a unique and thought-provoking interpretation of the classic fairy tale. In this allegorical depiction, Germany and Prussia are symbolized by the menacing wolf, while France is represented by the innocent Little Red Riding Hood. The use of satire and vivid colors adds depth to the narrative, highlighting the political tensions and power dynamics at play during this period.
The image draws on both Perrault's original tale and Grimm's adaptation, weaving together elements from both versions to create a powerful commentary on war, childhood innocence, and national identity. The inclusion of helmets and visors on the animals further emphasizes the wartime context in which this piece was created.
As we gaze upon this striking artwork, we are reminded of the enduring relevance of fairy tales as vehicles for social critique and reflection. The work also pays homage to literary giants such as Charles Perrault and Wilhelm & Jacob Grimm whose timeless stories continue to captivate audiences across generations.
Overall, this postcard print serves as a poignant reminder of how art can transcend time and space to offer profound insights into human nature and society.
