Young girls dancing amongst the trees while the Pied Piper plays his pipe
The Pied Piper playing his pipe to children in the fields near the town of Hamelin in Lower Saxony, Germany, on a beautiful spring day. The legend of the Pied Piper tells how he removed a plague of rats from the town in 1284, luring them away by playing his pipe; however, when the townsfolk refused to pay him, he enticed away most of their children in the same manner. From " The Pied Piper of Hamelin" by Robert Browning, illustrated by Kate Greenaway, published by George Routledge & Sons, London, Glasgow, Manchester and New York in 1888

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photo print, we are transported to a picturesque scene in the fields near the town of Hamelin, Germany. Against a backdrop of lush green trees and vibrant spring flowers, young girls twirl and dance with joyous abandon. The Pied Piper stands at the center, his pipe held to his lips as he fills the air with melodious tunes. This image captures a moment frozen in time from the legendary tale of the Pied Piper. As Robert Browning's words come alive through Kate Greenaway's delicate illustrations, we witness how this mysterious figure saved Hamelin from a plague of rats by using his magical music to lure them away. However, when greed overcame gratitude and payment was denied, he sought retribution by enticing most of their children away as well. The innocence and purity radiating from these dancing girls contrasts sharply with the dark undertones that lie within this fable. It serves as a reminder that even amidst beauty and laughter, there can be hidden dangers lurking beneath. Whitemay's skillful capture allows us to immerse ourselves in this timeless story while appreciating its artistic interpretation. This print invites us to reflect on themes of trust, consequences, and ultimately reminds us that every action has its price – whether it be paid willingly or unwillingly.
