EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting print captures the timeless tale of Little Red Riding Hood with her beloved grandmother. Created in France around 1900, this trade card beautifully illustrates the fairy tale written by renowned French author Charles Perrault (1628-1703). The vibrant colors and intricate details of this chromolithograph bring to life the magical world of literature for young readers. In this scene, Little Red Riding Hood is depicted wearing her iconic red cloak as she stands beside her grandmother's bedside. The tender expression on their faces reveals a deep bond between them, while the carefully crafted background transports us into a whimsical forest setting. This artwork not only showcases Perrault's skillful storytelling but also highlights the artistry involved in creating these exquisite trade cards. The use of chromolithography, a technique that involves multiple layers of color printing, adds depth and richness to every element within the image. From the delicate folds of Little Red Riding Hood's dress to the intricate patterns on her grandmother's bedspread, each detail is meticulously rendered. This delightful piece serves as both an advertisement for literary works and an artistic representation of classic folklore. It reminds us of our own childhood memories spent immersed in tales like these and invites us to share them with future generations. A true treasure from Universal Images Group (UIG), this print celebrates not only Charles Perrault’s enduring legacy but also the power of imagination found within children's literature.
