EDITORS COMMENTS
In this illustration from the 1909 edition of 'The Robber Bridegroom' by German author Wilhelm Hauff, renowned English illustrator, Edward Ardizzone, masterfully brings to life the moment of escape for the young protagonists. The old woman and her granddaughter, their faces etched with fear and determination, dash away from the ominous den of the robber bridegroom. The building in the background, with its menacing trees and towering chimney, looms ominously over the fleeing pair. The children's books of the Edwardian era often contained elements of danger and adventure, and this illustration is no exception. The intricate details of the scene, from the folds in the old woman's cloak to the leaves on the trees, transport us back to a time when stories were told around the fireplace and imagination knew no bounds. This illustration, with its rich history and timeless appeal, continues to captivate and inspire, making it a must-have for any collection of children's literature or art.
