EDITORS COMMENTS
In this illustration from the 1930s, we witness a thrilling moment straight out of the classic fairy tale, "The Three Little Pigs". The artist, Frank Adams, skillfully captures the essence of fear and determination as he depicts a wolf fleeing for his life. Entitled "He ran away as fast as his legs would take him" this vibrant color lithograph transports us into a world where animals possess human-like qualities. As we gaze at the image, our hearts race alongside the wolf's pounding footsteps on an enchanting forest path. The predator-turned-prey is driven by revenge after being outsmarted by three clever little pigs. With every stride, he leaves behind a cloud of dust and desperation. Adams' attention to detail brings each character to life; their anthropomorphic features make it easy for children and adults alike to connect with this timeless story. Amidst the chaos of pursuit, we catch sight of a she-wolf in hot pursuit - perhaps seeking justice or protecting her young ones. This evocative print reminds us that even in children's stories, there are valuable lessons about resilience and survival. It serves as a testament to the power of imagination and storytelling in shaping our understanding of wildlife and nature. Displayed proudly in private collections around the world today, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its dynamic composition and rich narrative. As we admire Adams' masterpiece through Bridgeman Images' lens, let us be transported back to childhood wonderment while embracing the enduring
