EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting image captures the legendary tale of the Pied Piper of Hamelin, as depicted in a print by renowned English illustrator, Walter Crane, published by the Greenaway brothers through their company, The Bodley Head. The Pied Piper, with his colorful attire and mysterious pipe, is seen playing a melody that enthralls the children of Hamelin, leading them away from their troubled town and into the idyllic embrace of a blossoming meadow. The scene is set in the season of spring, as evidenced by the tree in full bloom, its branches adorned with delicate pink blossoms. The children, dressed in their finest, dance and play around the tree, their laughter and joy a stark contrast to the hardships they left behind. The Pied Piper, with a knowing smile, continues to play his pipe, his magical tune keeping the children entranced. The myth of the Pied Piper dates back to the 13th century and has been retold through various forms of art and literature. The tale tells of a piper who, in exchange for ridding the town of rats, leads the children away to an unknown destination, never to be seen again. This print, with its captivating depiction of the Pied Piper and the enchanted children, offers a glimpse into the rich history and folklore of Hamelin and the magical world of the Pied Piper. The image, with its timeless charm and intricate details, is a testament to the artistic prowess of Walter Crane and the Greenaway brothers, who brought this classic tale to life for generations to come.
