EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting image captures the timeless tale of Cinderella as depicted by the renowned English illustrator, Charles Folkard, in the early 1920s. The print, titled "Black Cinderella," showcases Folkard's unique artistic style, which blended the traditions of Japanese woodblock prints with the romanticism of Victorian illustration. Charles Folkard (1877-1960) was a prolific illustrator and printmaker, known for his exquisite and imaginative interpretations of fairy tales, legends, and myths. His works were widely popular during the early 20th century and were published in numerous books and periodicals. In this rendition of Cinderella, Folkard presents the iconic character in a striking and unconventional way. The black background emphasizes the ethereal quality of the scene, while the delicate lines and intricate patterns of the illustration add a sense of whimsy and magic. Cinderella, dressed in her iconic blue gown, gazes wistfully at the glass slipper in her hand, her expression one of hope and longing. The historical context of this print is significant, as the 1920s marked a period of cultural and artistic transformation. Folkard's innovative approach to illustration reflected the changing tastes and preferences of the time, which favored modernism and experimentation. This beautiful print is a testament to the enduring appeal of Cinderella's story and the artistic vision of Charles Folkard. It invites us to rediscover the magic and wonder of a classic tale, while also providing a glimpse into the rich artistic heritage of the early 20th century.
