EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Franz Schubert's haunting composition, "Der Erlkönig," inspired by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's chilling poem. The illustration, reminiscent of Moritz von Schwind's work, depicts a rider in the forest under the moonlight, surrounded by mythical creatures and monstrous beasts.
The scene is shrouded in mystery and suspense as the devilish figure of the Erlking lurks in the shadows, reaching out to claim his next victim. The child on horseback looks back in terror, their face illuminated by the eerie glow of the moon.
The dark and foreboding atmosphere of this image perfectly encapsulates the sinister tale told through Schubert's music. The combination of classical melodies with fantastical elements creates a sense of unease and tension that is palpable even in still form.
As you gaze upon this postcard from Germany circa 1910, you can almost hear the haunting strains of Schubert's composition echoing through the trees. It serves as a reminder of the power that music has to transport us to other worlds and evoke deep emotions within us.
