EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, dating back to the mid-19th century, depicts a truly remarkable scene from the fictional world of Baron Munchausen. The image showcases the Barons marvellous horse, an extraordinary creature gifted to him by Count Przobossky. Despite facing a gruesome fate at the hands of the town's portcullis, this loyal steed continues to carry its master and even indulges in a refreshing drink. The artistic rendering beautifully captures both the fantastical nature of literature and the resilience displayed by this incredible horse. Its hindquarters severed by the imposing portcullis, one might expect defeat or despair. However, against all odds, this majestic animal remains steadfast in its duty towards its beloved master. Derived from RE Raspe's renowned work "The Travels and Surprising Adventures of Baron Munchausen" first published in 1785, this French edition chromolithograph offers us a glimpse into an imaginative realm where reality intertwines with fiction. It serves as a testament to human creativity and our ability to transcend limitations through storytelling. Beyond being merely an illustration within literature, this image also invites contemplation on psychological themes such as pathological lying or even notions of perseverance despite adversity. It sparks curiosity about how characters like Baron Munchausen can captivate readers' imaginations for centuries. As we admire this historical print from Universal Images Group (UIG), let us appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also recognize it as a window into
