EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Arthur Rackham, we are transported into the enchanting world of Hansel and Gretel. The scene depicted is a pivotal moment in the beloved fairy tale, where Hansel outwits the old woman who has imprisoned him and his sister. With eyes full of innocence and determination, young Hansel slyly extends a knuckle-bone towards the old woman, whose failing vision prevents her from realizing it's not his finger. Her astonishment grows as she wonders why he hasn't gained weight despite her constant feeding. Rackham's masterful use of color lithography brings this magical story to life, with vibrant hues that illuminate every detail - from the boy's crutch to the intricate padlock on their prison door. The image exudes both mystery and hope as we witness Hansel's cleverness shining through even in dire circumstances. This illustration captures the essence of childhood imagination and resilience against adversity. It reminds us that appearances can be deceiving, urging us to question what lies beyond our limited perception. As we gaze upon this timeless artwork, we are reminded of the enduring power of fairy tales to transport us into worlds where anything is possible – where brave boys like Hansel can outsmart wicked witches and find their way back home.
