EDITORS COMMENTS
This 1909 lithograph print, titled "The Youth who could not shudder" transports us into the enchanting world of the Brothers Grimm's fairy tales. Illustrated by Arthur Rackham, a renowned artist of his time, this piece captures a pivotal moment in one of their beloved stories. In this scene, we witness an underground basement where a young boy finds himself trapped. Armed with an axe and fueled by determination, he takes a mighty swing at an anvil that stands before him. Astonishingly, with just one blow, the anvil splits apart while simultaneously catching onto the long beard of an old man nearby. Rackham's masterful use of color brings life to this fantastical setting as shades of vibrant hues illuminate both characters and surroundings. The magical essence is palpable as we delve deeper into this fable-like narrative. "The Youth who could not shudder" invites viewers to ponder themes such as bravery and resilience in the face of adversity. It serves as a reminder that even when faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges or confined within dark dungeons, our inner strength can guide us towards liberation. As part of the Historica Graphica Collection, this children's illustration continues to captivate audiences across generations with its timeless charm and imaginative storytelling.
