Feet Finished Gratitude Kick Kicking Nose Pinocchio Point Puppet Shock Surprise
EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration dates back to 1911, showcasing the iconic moment when Pinocchio, the beloved wooden puppet, kicks his creator Geppetto on the nose. In this classic scene from Carlo Collodi's timeless tale, Geppetto is depicted as an old, surprised, and slightly shocked man, with a cat perched on his shoulder, as he gazes at the unexpected turn of events. Pinocchio, with a mischievous grin, has just finished being crafted from wood and, in a burst of newfound independence, expresses his gratitude for his creation by giving Geppetto a playful kick. The illustration beautifully captures the historical significance of this moment, encapsulating the essence of the relationship between the puppet and his creator. The intricate details of the illustration, from the textured woodgrain of Pinocchio and Geppetto to the delicate lines of their features, bring the story to life. This image is a testament to the rich history of children's literature and the enduring appeal of Pinocchio, who continues to enchant generations with his adventures and lessons about growing up. This illustration is a precious piece of history, offering a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the magic and wonder that lies within the pages of a book. It is a must-have for any collector of vintage illustrations, Pinocchio memorabilia, or for those who appreciate the artistry and storytelling that comes to life through the pages of a classic children's book.
