EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century lithograph, titled "The Prince wakes Beauty" transports us into the enchanting world of fairy tales. Published in 1879 as part of "The Blue Beard Picture Book" this colourful print beautifully depicts a scene from the timeless story of Sleeping Beauty. In this illustration by Walter Crane, a renowned artist and illustrator of his time, we witness the pivotal moment when the prince awakens Beauty from her deep slumber. The delicate details and vibrant hues bring to life every element of this magical encounter. As we gaze upon the image, we are drawn to the ornate bed where Beauty lies peacefully asleep. Her ethereal beauty is accentuated by her flowing gown and golden locks cascading around her serene face. The prince, with an expression filled with awe and tenderness, leans over her gently, ready to wake her with true love's kiss. Crane's skillful use of colour and intricate patterns showcases his mastery in capturing both historical charm and artistic finesse. This lithograph exemplifies the Arts and Crafts movement prevalent during that era while staying true to its fairytale roots. "The Prince wakes Beauty" invites us to immerse ourselves in a world where love conquers all obstacles—a reminder that even amidst darkness, there is always hope for a happily ever after.
