EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting illustration from the 19th century brings to life Madame d'Aulnoy's dark tale of "Finette Cendron." In this scene, a giant ogre with one eye, resembling a cyclops, carries a basket filled with small children he has captured and intends to devour. The grotesque figure looms menacingly over his prey, his ugliness emphasized by his cudgel and sinister expression. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricate engraving of the ogre's costume and weaponry, adding to the eerie atmosphere of the image. The children's fear is palpable as they huddle together in terror, their innocence starkly contrasted against the ogre's malevolence. This illustration serves as a chilling reminder of the darker themes present in classic folktales, where danger lurks around every corner and evil takes on many forms. It captures the essence of a time when storytelling was used not only for entertainment but also as a cautionary tool for young listeners. As we gaze upon this piece of artistry, we are transported back to an era where imagination ran wild and mythical creatures roamed free. It is a testament to both the power of storytelling and the enduring legacy of timeless tales like "Finette Cendron.
