EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration captures a pivotal moment from Charles Perrault's timeless tale, "Le Petit Poucet" (The Little Thumb). In this enchanting scene, the cunning little protagonist sneaks into the lair of a slumbering ogre to steal his magical boots. The anonymous engraving, created in the 19th century and now part of a private collection, beautifully brings to life the whimsical world of French folklore. The image showcases the resourcefulness and bravery of Le Petit Poucet as he carefully tiptoes around the sleeping giant. With seven pairs of boots scattered across various locations within the ogre's abode, our young hero must navigate this treacherous terrain with utmost caution. Each boot possesses its own unique power that will aid him on his daring adventure. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back to our own childhoods filled with wonder and imagination. It serves as a reminder that even in times of great adversity, determination and cleverness can overcome any obstacle. Through this evocative depiction, Stefano Bianchetti skillfully captures both the innocence and excitement inherent in Perrault's classic tale. This print is not only an homage to French literature but also a testament to the enduring power of storytelling throughout history.
