Uncle Remus's Animal Tales: A Timeless Edition Illustrated by Harry Rountree (1908) This illustration is taken from the 1908 edition of Joel Chandler Harris's classic collection, "Uncle Remus: His Songs and His Sayings," featuring Harry Rountree's enchanting artwork. The scene depicts a group of animated animals gathered around a large tree trunk, with a plank serving as a makeshift bridge. A pair of rabbits, their ears twitching in excitement, are seen in the foreground, eagerly preparing to make a daring run across the plank. The Edwardian-era illustration, reminiscent of the early 1900s, showcases the humanized depiction of animals that was popular during this time. Harry Rountree's skillful brushstrokes bring each character to life, imbuing them with personality and charm. The tree, with its gnarled trunk and sprawling branches, serves as a backdrop to the lively scene, adding a sense of whimsy and wonder. Joel Chandler Harris's "Uncle Remus" stories, first published in the late 1800s, have captivated generations of readers with their folktales and fables. This illustrated edition, published by the Reilly and Britton Company, offers a visual complement to Harris's beloved stories, making it a treasured addition to any collection of classic literature. The illustrations, like this one by Harry Rountree, help to bring the tales to life, allowing readers to connect with the characters and the stories in a new and engaging way.
