EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "L'histoire Lamentable de la Boite d'allumettes" transports us into the world of Hoffmann's Struwwelpeter, as illustrated by Trim (Louis Gustave Ratisbonne) in 1850. The vibrant colors of this lithograph bring to life the cautionary tale known as "The Dreadful Story about Pauline and the Matches". In this scene, we witness a group of cats desperately trying to prevent a young girl from setting fire to her house with matches. This humorous yet instructive image serves as a reminder of the dangers that can arise from curiosity and recklessness. Hoffmann's Struwwelpeter is widely regarded as one of the first internationally successful comic books, making it an important piece in the history of storytelling. Its amusing stories and whimsical illustrations have captivated children for generations, while also imparting valuable lessons. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of its educational value and its ability to entertain both young and old alike. It serves as a testament to the power that art holds in conveying messages through visual storytelling. This photo print, part of a private collection, allows us to appreciate not only the artistic talent behind Trim's illustration but also its historical significance within children's literature. Let it serve as a charming reminder that even seemingly ordinary objects like matchboxes can hold extraordinary tales within them.
