EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print by William Heath Robinson, we are transported back to the enchanting world of Charles Perrault's Cinderella. The image depicts a scene filled with both beauty and jealousy as we witness the contrasting fates of two sisters. The central focus is on Cinderella herself, portrayed as a delicate and innocent young girl. Her radiant presence shines through her graceful posture and gentle expression, capturing our hearts instantly. Dressed in rags yet exuding an undeniable charm, she embodies resilience and hope amidst adversity. On either side of Cinderella stand her stepsisters, their faces contorted with envy and bitterness. Their extravagant attire serves only to highlight their inner ugliness – a stark contrast to the purity emanating from our little sister. Robinson's intricate woodcut technique adds depth to the illustration, enhancing every detail from the folds in their dresses to the expressions etched upon each character's face. The text accompanying this artwork further immerses us into Perrault's timeless fairy tale. As we gaze upon this 16th-century masterpiece, we cannot help but be reminded of the enduring power of folklore and its ability to captivate generations across time. It serves as a reminder that true beauty lies not in material possessions or outward appearances but rather within one's heart – a lesson that continues to resonate today.
