Apprehensively Baum Bound Caught Dorothy Lion Watches Winged Wizard Wonderful
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from the classic 1900 publication of L. Frank Baum's 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.' In this scene, Dorothy, the story's courageous protagonist, watches apprehensively as the Cowardly Lion is caught and bound by the Winged Monkeys. Baum's original illustrations, created by W.W. Denslow, brought the magical world of Oz to life for generations of readers. Published just a year after the book's debut, this print offers a historical glimpse into the early days of children's literature. The illustration's rich colors and intricate details transport us back to a time when imagination and wonder held sway over the pages of books. The Winged Monkeys, also known as the Jabberwockies, are a fearsome creature in Baum's Oz series. They are described as having the wings of bats, the faces of monkeys, and the power to capture and bind those who have wronged them. Dorothy, with her heartfelt compassion, has managed to avoid their wrath, but now she must confront the consequences of the Lion's cowardice. The Lion, a symbol of courage and leadership, is bound by the Winged Monkeys in this image. Dorothy's expression reveals her concern and empathy for the Lion, who is known for his fear of being mocked for his lack of courage. This scene underscores the themes of bravery, friendship, and the power of kindness that run throughout Baum's beloved tale. This print is a testament to the enduring appeal of 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz' and the power of imagination to captivate and inspire readers of all ages.
