EDITORS COMMENTS
The old woman shut Hansel in a stable, capturing the essence of fear and imprisonment in this print from the classic tale of Hansel and Gretel. Published by Blackie & Son Limited around 1940, this colour lithograph by Frank Adams beautifully depicts a pivotal moment in the story. The image transports us to a dark forest where two children find themselves at the mercy of an evil witch. The old woman's sinister expression sends shivers down our spines as she locks poor Hansel away in a desolate stable. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the scene, emphasizing the vulnerability of the young boy. Adams' attention to detail is remarkable, with every fold of clothing and strand of hair meticulously rendered. The costumes reflect both historical accuracy and whimsical charm, immersing us further into this enchanting fairy tale world. This print serves as a reminder of the enduring power that children's stories hold over our imaginations. It captures not only the danger faced by Hansel but also his sister Gretel's determination to rescue him. It is through their bravery and resourcefulness that they ultimately triumph over evil. As we gaze upon this evocative artwork, we are transported back to our own childhoods when tales like Hansel and Gretel sparked our imagination and taught us valuable life lessons about courage, resilience, and sibling love.
