EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating illustration that brings to life Charles Perrault's timeless fairy tale, Sleeping Beauty. Created by Walter Crane in the late 19th century, this colour engraving showcases his exceptional artistic talent and attention to detail. In this scene, we see a young princess dressed in an elegant Grecian gown, her eyes filled with innocence and curiosity. She stands before an old woman who sits hunched over a spinning wheel, her face obscured by shadows. The contrast between their youthful beauty and the old woman's mysterious presence creates an air of intrigue. A mischievous black cat perches on the windowsill behind them, adding another layer of enchantment to the composition. Is it merely observing or does it hold some secret connection to these characters? Crane masterfully captures both the allure and danger present in fairy tales. The princess' vulnerability is palpable as she unknowingly interacts with this seemingly harmless old woman. Little does she know that within moments, a curse will befall her – cast by none other than this very witch-like figure. This print serves as a reminder of our fascination with folklore and its ability to transport us into fantastical worlds where good battles evil. It invites us to delve into our imagination and relive cherished childhood stories while appreciating Crane's skillful interpretation of Perrault's classic tale.
