EDITORS COMMENTS
This fascinating print captures the mythical figure of Gargantua as a baby, depicted in all his enormous glory. In this scene, several villagers are seen struggling to carry the giant infant due to his incredible size. The image is a visual representation of the character from Francois Rabelais' famous book series, which was first published in 1532.
Rabelais' works, including "Gargantua and Pantagruel," are known for their satirical take on society and politics of the time. The character of Gargantua himself is symbolic of excess and indulgence, making this portrayal of him as a gigantic baby all the more fitting.
The historical significance of this image cannot be understated, as it offers a glimpse into the literary world of 16th-century France. It serves as a reminder of how storytelling has evolved over centuries and continues to captivate audiences with its larger-than-life characters.
Credit must be given to Mary Evans Picture Library for preserving and sharing this unique piece from their collection. The estate of Mrs J.C.Robinson/Pollinger Ltd also deserves recognition for allowing us to appreciate this historical gem. Overall, this print is not just an intriguing visual but also a window into a bygone era filled with imagination and creativity.
