EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Sandman, Coppelius" is an illustration from a short story by E. T. A. Hoffmann in his collection "The Night Pieces" published in 1817. Created by an unknown artist during the 19th century, this print showcases the eerie atmosphere of Hoffmann's tale. In this scene, we see a man with a walking stick standing before a frightened child. The man represents Coppelius, also known as the Sandman - a character who instills fear and dread into those he encounters. The child's expression reveals their terror at the sight of this mysterious figure. Hoffmann's story explores themes of horror and psychological torment, making it one of his most renowned works. Through his writing, he delves into the blurred lines between reality and imagination, creating an unsettling narrative that continues to captivate readers today. This intriguing illustration captures the essence of Hoffmann's dark storytelling style. The use of black and white enhances the sense of foreboding while emphasizing the contrast between light and shadow. Displayed in private collections worldwide, this engraving serves as a visual representation of Hoffmann's literary genius. It reminds us that even within art forms such as engravings or literature from centuries past can still evoke strong emotions and leave lasting impressions on our minds.
