EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting silver-toned print captures the iconic christening scene from the classic fairy tale 'Sleeping Beauty,' as depicted in Charles Perrault's original 1697 publication. In this ballet adaptation, the royal court gathers around the cradle of the newborn princess, beaming with joy and anticipation. However, the scene is disrupted by the wicked fairy Carabosse, who, in a fit of jealousy and anger, casts a curse upon the infant princess with a wave of her hand. The historical silhouette illustration, reminiscent of the 1690s, beautifully captures the grandeur and elegance of the royal court, with its ornate gowns, intricate headdresses, and regal postures. The ballet version of 'Sleeping Beauty,' set to the famous music by Tchaikovsky, was first performed in 1890, and this scene remains one of its most memorable moments. This print, from the Mary Evans Prints Online archive, is a stunning reminder of the timeless beauty and magic of this classic fairy tale, and the enduring power of ballet to bring stories to life.
