EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "HARRIS: UNCLE REMUS, 1895. Brer Rabbit and Brer Bear" takes us back to the late 19th century when African American folktales were gaining recognition in literature. Created by Arthur Burdett Frost for the second edition of Joel Chandler Harris' iconic folktale collection, this pen-and-ink drawing beautifully captures a pivotal moment in one of Uncle Remus' enchanting stories. In this illustration, we see Brer Rabbit cunningly outsmarting his formidable adversary, Brer Bear. The intricate details bring these beloved characters to life as they engage in a battle of wits and trickery. The artist's skillful use of lines and shading adds depth and dimension to their expressions, immersing us further into the narrative. The significance of this artwork lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its cultural importance. It represents an era where African American voices began to be heard through storytelling traditions passed down from generation to generation. Through Harris' work, these tales gained popularity among readers from all walks of life. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time - a turn-of-the-century world filled with imagination and wonderment. It serves as a reminder that literature has the power to transcend boundaries and unite people through shared narratives.
