EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting image captures the dreadful story of Harriet and the matches from Heinrich Hoffmann's classic children's book, "Struwwelpeter." Published in 1847, this cautionary tale warns of the dangers of playing with fire through the tragic fate of young Harriet. In the illustration, we see Harriet surrounded by straw as she weeps over her burns after igniting a match.
The detailed depiction of Harriet's suffering serves as a stark reminder to children about the consequences of disobedience and reckless behavior. The historical significance of this image lies in its portrayal of a common theme found in many cautionary tales from that era - teaching moral lessons through vivid storytelling.
The inclusion of cats in the background adds an eerie element to the scene, emphasizing the gravity of Harriet's actions and their impact on those around her. This print from Mary Evans Picture Library is not just a visual representation but also a powerful narrative that continues to resonate with audiences today.
As we gaze upon this chilling artwork, we are reminded that some stories are meant to be remembered for their ability to educate and warn against dangerous behaviors. Hoffmann's "Harriet & Matches" remains a timeless tale that continues to captivate readers with its enduring message.
