EDITORS COMMENTS
by J.H. Hartley is a captivating illustration inspired by Charles Perrault's timeless fairy tale, "The King's Son and the Enchanted Tobacco Box." This enchanting image, dated 1923, transports us to a magical realm where the ordinary intertwines with the extraordinary. At the heart of the scene, a young prince, dressed in royal attire, stands in awe as he encounters a beautiful fairy. Her ethereal wings spread wide, she delicately holds out a box adorned with diamonds and toads. The juxtaposition of these two seemingly incongruous elements is a testament to the whimsical nature of Perrault's tale. According to the story, the prince's father, the king, had been warned by a wise man that his son would marry someone who appeared as a toad. Intrigued by this prophecy, the prince embarks on a quest to find his future bride. He eventually comes across the enchanted tobacco box, which, when opened, reveals a series of transformations. The prince's future wife, the fairy, is among the many disguises. Hartley's illustration beautifully captures the moment of their first meeting, filled with wonder, curiosity, and the promise of a love that defies the ordinary. J.H. Hartley's masterful use of color and detail brings the magical world of Perrault's fairy tale to life. The vibrant diamonds and the intricately patterned toads create a striking contrast against the lush, green background. This image is a testament to the enduring allure of fairy tales and their ability to transport us to enchanted realms.
