EDITORS COMMENTS
Dick Whittington's Triumph over the Rats: A Visual Tale by Robert Southey and Charles Folkard In this enchanting print by Charles Folkard, titled "Dick Whittington," we witness a pivotal moment from the beloved English fairy tale penned by Robert Southey in 1837. The story follows Dick Whittington, a young man from Gloucester, who embarks on a journey to London in search of fortune and adventure. Along the way, he encounters a series of challenges, most notably an infestation of rats and mice that threaten to disrupt his newfound peace in the city. In this scene, Dick Whittington, portrayed as a determined and resourceful young man, stands tall amidst a sea of mice and rats, his trusty cat, Dick Wittington, by his side. The rats and mice, once a formidable foe, are now subdued, their tails curled and their eyes wide with fear. The fairy tale comes to a momentary pause, as Dick Whittington gazes out at the peaceful London landscape, a sense of accomplishment and relief washing over him. Charles Folkard's illustration masterfully captures the essence of Southey's tale, with its intricate details and whimsical charm. The use of warm colors and soft lighting adds to the enchanting atmosphere, transporting us to a time when fairy tales were a source of wonder and delight. This print is a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and the magic that lies within the pages of a fairy tale. It serves as a reminder that no matter how daunting the challenges we face, with determination, courage, and a little help from our friends, we too can triumph over adversity and find happiness in the most unexpected places.
