EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting silver print depicts the iconic scene from Charles Perrault's timeless fairytale, "Sleeping Beauty," first published in 1697. In this moment, the regal King and Queen, their silhouettes a testament to the grandeur of the royal court, slumber peacefully, unaware of the magical events unfolding before them. As the Lilac Fairy hovers above, bestowing her blessing, Prince Charming approaches the enchanted Sleeping Princess. With a tender touch, he bends to place a loving kiss upon her lips, thereby awakening her from her century-long slumber. This scene, set to the beautiful music of Tchaivsky's ballet, first performed in 1890, has captivated audiences for generations. This exquisite illustration, reminiscent of the 1960s, transports us back in time to a world of enchantment and wonder. The overgrown castle, the intricate details of the royal attire, and the ethereal presence of the fairy all serve to bring this classic fairytale to life. The years have passed, but the magic of Sleeping Beauty remains as captivating as ever.
