EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the famous "Red Riding Hood" tale, taken from the book "Stories or Tales of the Past. With Moralites" by Charles Perrault. Published in Paris in 1697, this second edition is considered a rare original and was previously thought to be a second state or draft of the original publication. The image depicts an intricately detailed woodcut illustration featuring Red Riding Hood standing beside her bed while a menacing wolf lurks nearby. The scene exudes elements of baroque art with its rich details and dramatic composition. This classic folk tale serves as a cautionary story, warning readers about the dangers of violence and evil lurking in disguise. The hungry wolf symbolizes both physical and metaphorical devouring, representing not only danger but also temptation. Perrault's storytelling prowess shines through his vivid descriptions, creating a world where innocence collides with darkness. This particular print captures that essence perfectly, inviting viewers into the twisted narrative filled with gruesome encounters and moral lessons. As we gaze upon this historical piece of literature brought to life through illustration, we are reminded of the enduring power of fairytales to captivate our imaginations across generations.
