EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Arthur Rackham, we are transported into the enchanting world of "Hansel and Gretel and the Witch on the doorstep of her cottage". The artist's meticulous attention to detail brings to life the iconic scene from the Brothers Grimm fairy story. As our eyes wander across the image, we notice Hansel and Gretel standing fearfully before a sinister-looking witch. The tiles beneath their feet are made of gingerbread, adding an element of whimsy to this otherwise eerie setting. The forest looms in the background, its towering trees hinting at both danger and mystery. The contrast between innocence and evil is palpable in this artwork. Hansel clutches his crutch while Gretel hides behind her bonnet-clad head, their vulnerability emphasized by their small stature. Meanwhile, the witch exudes malevolence with her hideous appearance and menacing expression. Rackham skillfully captures not only physical details but also emotions within his illustrations. We can almost feel Hansel and Gretel's hunger as they stand on this doorstep, lost in a strange land far from home. Their wide-eyed gazes convey both alarm and fright as they face an unknown fate. This print serves as a reminder of how literature has the power to transport us into fantastical realms where good battles evil. It is a testament to Rackham's artistic prowess that even without words, he manages to evoke such strong emotions through his visual storytelling.
