EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th century, immersing us in the world of African American folklore. The illustration, created by Arthur Burdett Frost for Joel Chandler Harris' second edition of "Uncle Remus" in 1895, depicts two beloved characters from the tales - Brer Rabbit and Brer Possum. In this pen-and-ink drawing, we see Brer Rabbit cunningly outsmarting his friend Brer Possum. The intricate details bring these iconic figures to life as they engage in a whimsical encounter. The artist's skillful strokes capture their expressions perfectly; mischief dances across Brer Rabbit's face while surprise is etched on Brer Possum's. The significance of this artwork lies not only in its artistic brilliance but also in its cultural importance. It represents a time when African American literature was gaining recognition and celebrating the rich heritage of oral storytelling passed down through generations. As we gaze upon this turn-of-the-century masterpiece, we are reminded of the power that stories hold to connect people across time and cultures. It serves as a reminder that even amidst adversity, creativity can flourish and narratives can transcend boundaries. This print transports us into an enchanting world where imagination reigns supreme – a testament to the enduring legacy of Uncle Remus and his timeless tales.
