EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting print captures the iconic moment from Charles Perrault's timeless fairy tale, "Little Red Riding Hood". In this vividly illustrated French trade card dating back to 1900, we witness Little Red Riding Hood on her way to visit her beloved grandmother. As she ventures through the mysterious woods, little does she know that a cunning predator lurks nearby. The focal point of this chromolithograph is the fateful encounter between Little Red Riding Hood and the infamous Wolf. The artist skillfully portrays their meeting with great attention to detail and emotion. With wide-eyed innocence and a basket of treats in hand, our young protagonist stands frozen in surprise as she locks eyes with the menacing creature before her. This artwork not only showcases Perrault's literary genius but also highlights the beauty of juvenile literature during that era. The vibrant colors and intricate design make it clear why such trade cards were highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike. As we gaze upon this piece, we are reminded of the enduring power of storytelling and its ability to transport us into fantastical worlds filled with both wonderment and danger. It serves as a testament to Perrault's legacy as one of France's most celebrated authors whose tales continue to captivate readers across generations.
