Baum Cowardly Cries Crying Lion Tail Tear Tears Upset Wipe Wizard Wonderful
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a poignant moment from L. Frank Baum's beloved classic, "The Wizard of Oz." In this scene, the Cowardly Lion, a central character in Baum's 1900 novel, sheds tears of frustration and self-doubt. The Lion, who is seeking courage to protect Dorothy and her companions, feels inadequate and cries out, "I'm not a cowardly lion, I'm a cowardly, cowardly lion!" Published in the early 20th century, Baum's "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" has captivated generations of readers and viewers with its enchanting storyline and memorable characters. The Cowardly Lion, with his shaggy mane and expressive face, is a fan favorite, and this image of him crying and using his tail to wipe away his tears has become an iconic representation of his emotional journey. The history of this photograph is as fascinating as the story it comes from. Baum's original illustrations for "The Wizard of Oz" were created by W.W. Denslow, who also provided the original illustrations for this scene. However, this particular image of the Cowardly Lion crying was not included in the original publication. It was later reproduced in various adaptations of the story, including the 1939 MGM film, and has since become a beloved image in the annals of children's literature. This historical print, with its rich detail and emotional depth, offers a glimpse into the enduring power of Baum's story and the timeless appeal of the Cowardly Lion's journey to find courage. Whether you're a fan of the original novel, the classic film, or simply a lover of beautiful, vintage illustrations, this print is sure to bring a touch of wonder and nostalgia to any home or office.
