EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting scene from the fairytale "Puss in Boots" by Charles Perrault. Created in 1868 by Gustave Dore, this exquisite engraving showcases the cunning and resourcefulness of our beloved feline protagonist. In this particular moment, Puss in Boots finds himself on a river bank, witnessing his master, Monsieur le marquis de Carabas, drowning. With great urgency and guile, Puss cries out for help to attract the attention of the king nearby. The cat's clever ruse aims to save his master from an untimely demise. Digitally cleaned to enhance its beauty and detail, this artwork transports us back to a time when fairy tales captured our imaginations. It serves as a reminder of the power of storytelling and how it continues to captivate audiences even today. The artist's skillful rendering brings life to every stroke and adds depth to each character depicted. This piece is not only a testament to Dore's talent but also highlights his contribution as one of the most prominent artists of the 19th century. Displayed proudly in private collections around the world, this print invites viewers into a whimsical realm where animals possess wit and humans are saved through unexpected means. It serves as both an homage to classic literature and a celebration of artistic mastery that transcends time and culture.
