EDITORS COMMENTS
Quick, Pinocchio! But it was too late! The monstrous sea creature had overtaken the innocent puppet boy as he swam desperately through the rough waves. The date on this 1911 illustration transports us back in time to a classic moment from the beloved children's tale of Pinocchio. In this vivid scene, Pinocchio, with his wooden features and wide-open eyes, is shown being pursued by a colossal sea monster. The monster, with its menacing teeth and powerful body, has lunged out of the depths of the ocean, ready to swallow the hapless puppet whole. Pinocchio, with a look of terror on his face, is shown struggling to escape, his arms flailing as he kicks his legs in a desperate attempt to stay afloat. The background of the illustration is filled with the tumultuous waves, their white foamy crests crashing against the rocky shore. The scene is reminiscent of a large, open-mouthed fish, gulping down its unsuspecting prey. This historical illustration, with its intricate details and rich colors, brings to life the thrilling and often perilous adventures of Pinocchio as he journeyed from wooden puppet to real boy. The illustration, which is believed to have been created for a children's book, is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Pinocchio story. It is a timeless tale of transformation, bravery, and the power of imagination, and continues to captivate audiences of all ages. This image, with its rich history and intricate details, is a must-have for any collector of classic children's literature or illustration.
