EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "PERRAULT: TOM THUMB, 1867" transports us into the enchanting world of fairy tales and fables. The image depicts a pivotal moment in the story where Hop o my Thumb, a tiny character with immense courage, skillfully removes the Seven League Boots. Created through wood engraving by Gustave Dore for Les Contes de Perrault in 1867, this illustration beautifully captures the essence of danger and escape. In this scene set amidst an eerie exterior at midnight, Tom Thumb finds himself lost in a vast forest. With determination shining in his eyes, he cunningly outwits a sleeping giant who could easily crush him underfoot. The attention to detail is remarkable as every line etched on paper brings life to this miniature hero's perilous adventure. The artist's mastery lies not only in portraying Tom Thumb's bravery but also in showcasing the grandeur of storytelling itself. Through Dore's skilled hand, we are transported to a world where imagination reigns supreme and even the tiniest among us can conquer giants. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print from The Granger Collection, our hearts fill with awe and admiration for characters like Tom Thumb who teach us that size is no measure of strength or resilience. It serves as a reminder that within each one of us lies untapped potential waiting to be unleashed when faced with adversity.
