EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us into the enchanting world of Charles Perrault's timeless tale, "Le Petit Poucet" (Little Thumb). The anonymous engraving from the 19th century beautifully captures a pivotal moment in the story where the feres (siblings) of Little Poucet find refuge in a hollow rock to escape the clutches of an ogre. The scene is filled with tension as we witness their fear-stricken faces peering out from within the safety of their rocky hideout. Each child's expression tells a different story - some wide-eyed with terror, others clutching each other for comfort. It is through this illustration that we can truly understand the depth of emotion experienced by these young characters. The artist skillfully conveys both the vulnerability and resilience of childhood, reminding us of our own fears and imaginations during those formative years. This evocative image serves as a powerful reminder that even in times of great adversity, there is always hope and strength to be found. As we gaze upon this piece, it becomes clear why Perrault's tales have endured for centuries. They continue to captivate audiences young and old alike, transporting us to magical realms where imagination knows no bounds. This particular engraving stands as a testament to both Perrault's storytelling prowess and Stefano Bianchetti's artistic talent—a true treasure within any collection dedicated to preserving literature for little ones.
