EDITORS COMMENTS
In this chromolithograph print, we are transported into the fantastical world of Baron Munchausen as depicted in RE Raspe's literary masterpiece. The scene unfolds amidst a snowstorm, where our resourceful protagonist finds himself facing an unexpected twist. Having tethered his horse to a sturdy pole for the night, Munchausen awakens to a peculiar sight. To his astonishment, the snow that had blanketed the landscape has vanished completely! But what truly boggles his mind is the sight of his trusty steed perched precariously atop a towering church spire. Undeterred by this surreal turn of events, Munchausen's quick thinking comes to the fore. With remarkable accuracy and skill, he severs the tether connecting him to his equine companion with a single shot from his pistol. Mounting his horse once again, he resumes his extraordinary journey through uncharted territories. This whimsical image not only captures Munchausen's indomitable spirit but also serves as an allegory for human resilience in overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles. It reminds us that even in times of adversity and uncertainty, there is always room for ingenuity and determination. As we gaze upon this enchanting artwork from a French edition dating back to 1850, we are reminded of literature's power to transport us beyond reality's confines. It invites us to delve into realms where imagination reigns supreme and challenges conventional notions of possibility.
