EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century lithograph, titled "The giant breaks his neck" is a vivid illustration from The Blue Beard Picture Book published in 1879. Created by the renowned artist Walter Crane (1845-1915), this artwork belongs to the historica graphica collection and showcases his exceptional talent for storytelling through visuals. In this scene, we witness a climactic moment from the timeless fairy tale of Jack and the Beanstalk. Towering above all else is the fearsome giant with an axe in hand, ready to strike down upon young Jack. However, fate takes an unexpected turn as depicted by Crane's masterful brushstrokes: the giant stumbles and falls, breaking his neck upon impact. Crane's use of vibrant colors brings life to this enchanting print. The lush green hues symbolize both nature's power and Jack's bravery in facing such a formidable adversary. Meanwhile, our attention is drawn to an old hag with a pointed nose observing the scene—a mysterious character whose presence adds intrigue to this fantastical narrative. "The giant breaks his neck" transports us back in time, allowing us to relive cherished childhood memories while appreciating the artistic craftsmanship of yesteryears' illustrators. This lithograph serves as a testament to Crane's enduring legacy within arts and crafts movements.
