"Folklorists: Guardians of Cultural Heritage" Step into the enchanting world of folklore, where tales and traditions are woven together like a tapestry. From Hugh Miller's birthplace in Cromarty, Scotland to George Sand at the age of 32, these individuals have dedicated their lives to preserving and unraveling the rich tapestry of our collective heritage. Intriguingly captured by Viktor Mikhaylovich Vasnetsov, Nina Slobodka Berendeevka transports us to a realm where mythical creatures roam freely. It was William Thoms who coined the term "folklore" in 1803, forever etching his name as one of its pioneers. Wilhelm Carl Grimm stands tall among these legends as he ventured deep into Germanic folklore alongside his brother Jacob. Their timeless collection of fairy tales continues to captivate generations worldwide. Charles Godfrey Leland's enigmatic portrait from between 1855 and 1865 leaves us curious about the stories he unearthed during his explorations. Meanwhile, Sir James George Frazer's litho portrait from 1925 reminds us that folklore is not limited to mere stories but encompasses rituals and beliefs that shape societies. Thomas Frederick Crane's captivating gaze in a photograph from the late 1870s hints at his passion for documenting folk songs and ballads passed down through generations. Gottlieb Jakob Kuhn, a Swiss folklorist and poet immortalized through an engraving, adds another layer to this diverse field with his lyrical contributions. Leoš Janáček's black-and-white photo captures him amidst inspiration as he delves into Czech folklore through music composition. These individuals remind us that folklore transcends borders and languages; it speaks directly to our hearts. Finally, we encounter Hugh Miller once again—his presence resonating throughout this journey—as well as Sabine Baring-Gould whose tireless efforts brought forgotten tales back to life.
