EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts the legendary moment from one of the most enduring folktales in European history: the Children of Hamelin following the enigmatic Pied Piper as he leads them away from their homes. The Pied Piper, a musician and rat-catcher, had successfully rid the town of Hamelin, Germany, of a plague of rats, but was not paid the agreed-upon fee by the town's ungrateful folk. In retaliation, the Pied Piper used his magical pipe to lure the children away, leaving the town empty. The historical origins of this myth are unclear, but it has been popularized through various forms of art and literature since the Middle Ages. The image of the Pied Piper leading the children away, often depicted with a colorful costume and a pipe in hand, has become a symbol of the power of music and the dangers of broken promises. The towns folk, once proud and self-sufficient, now stand empty-handed and bewildered as their children disappear into the distance. The plague of rats that once terrorized their streets has been replaced by a greater danger: the loss of their children. The myth serves as a reminder of the importance of keeping one's word and the consequences of greed and ingratitude. This print, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique glimpse into the rich tapestry of European folklore and the enduring power of storytelling. The image invites us to ponder the mysteries of the past and the timeless lessons that continue to resonate with us today.
