EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 19th-century illustration by Wanda Gag, the timeless tale of "Hansel and Gretel" comes to life. The scene depicts a pivotal moment in the story, where the wicked witch attempts to fatten up Hansel within his confining cage. With meticulous attention to detail, Gag skillfully captures the essence of this dark fairy tale. The image showcases the sinister nature of the witch as she looms over young Hansel, her evil intentions evident in her piercing gaze. The boy's vulnerability is palpable as he sits trapped inside a small cage, surrounded by foreboding darkness. Meanwhile, a mischievous black cat lurks nearby, adding an element of mysticism and occultism to the composition. Gag's use of black ink creates a stark contrast against the white background, intensifying both the sense of confinement and impending danger that permeates this scene. Her masterful technique brings depth and texture to every stroke, enhancing our connection with these iconic characters from German folklore. This print serves as a testament to Gag's artistic prowess while paying homage to Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm's enduring narrative. As we gaze upon this hauntingly beautiful illustration, we are transported into a world filled with enchantment and trepidation—a reminder that even amidst darkness there exists hope for triumph over evil.
