Bread Fairy Folkard Give Perrault Pray Tale
EDITORS COMMENTS
The Cat and the Mouse," a captivating illustration by Charles Folkard, brings to life the classic fairy tale by Charles Perrault. The image, created in 1923, showcases the iconic moment from the story where the cunning cat, with a sly grin, extends a piece of bread towards the tiny mouse, who timidly raises his paw in prayer-like fashion, asking for the bread. The scene is filled with tension and anticipation, as the mouse trusts the cat's promise of "no harm" in exchange for the bread. Folkard's masterful use of watercolor and intricate detailing adds depth and charm to the traditional tale. The warm colors of the cat's fur and the cool tones of the mouse's coat create a striking contrast, while the delicate textures of the mouse's whiskers and the cat's paw add a sense of realism to the enchanting image. The fairy tale, originally published in Perrault's "Tales of Mother Goose," has been a beloved classic for generations. The story teaches the lesson of trust and the importance of being cautious around those who may seem friendly but have ulterior motives. Folkard's illustration perfectly captures the essence of the tale, making it a must-have for any collection of classic children's literature or fairy tale art. This beautiful print, brought to you by Charles Folkard, Peter Cope, and Mary Evans Prints Online, is a timeless piece that will transport you to a world of magic and wonder. Hang it on your wall as a reminder of the importance of trust and the power of a good story.
