Appears Gnome Hilda Miller Necklace Return Spins Straw 1924
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, dated 1924, depicts the legendary scene from the timeless tale of Rumplestiltskin. The miller's daughter, with a look of both wonder and trepidation, gazes upon the enigmatic gnome, Rumplestiltskin, who has magically transformed straw into gold in the corner of her room. In the folklore classic, Rumplestiltskin demands an impossible ransom from the miller's daughter in exchange for his supernatural abilities. In this instance, she offers her beautiful necklace as payment, unaware of the dire consequences that will follow. The intricately detailed illustration, reminiscent of the Art Nouveau movement, transports us back in time to an era when such fantastical stories were passed down through generations. The muted color palette and the gnome's mischievous expression add to the allure and mystery of this magical moment. Rumplestiltskin is a well-known European folktale that has been retold and adapted in various forms throughout history. Originating from Germany, this tale has been shared across cultures and continues to captivate audiences with its intriguing characters and moral lessons. This print, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the rich history of storytelling and the enduring appeal of folklore. It serves as a reminder of the power of imagination and the enchantment that can be found in the most unexpected places.
