EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration depicts a poignant moment from Hans Christian Andersen's beloved fairy tale, "Thumbelina," first published in 1835. The image captures Thumbelina, a tiny and vulnerable fairy girl, standing humbly before the door of a field mouse's cozy silhouetted house. With a look of earnest pleading, she extends her tiny hand, begging for food in her desperate hunger. The historical scene, reminiscent of the 1830s and 1950s, is brought to life through the intricate details of the illustration. The field mouse, with its beady eyes and twitching whiskers, peeks curiously from its doorway, seemingly considering Thumbelina's request. The golden hues of the autumnal landscape add a warm and inviting ambiance to the scene. This beautiful and timeless illustration, published by ILN in 1959, showcases the rich history and enduring appeal of Hans Christian Andersen's classic fairy tale.
