EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we are transported back to the enchanting world of fairy tales. Little Red Riding Hood stands before the door of her grandmother's cottage, her delicate hand gently knocking in anticipation. The image, taken by Otto Herschan in 1858, beautifully captures the essence of this beloved tale from the Brothers Grimm. Dressed in a fashion typical of the era, our young protagonist exudes both innocence and determination. Her flowing gown and bonnet reflect the modesty expected of young women during that time. Yet there is an undeniable sense of personality shining through her eyes - a hint at the courage she possesses as she embarks on her journey through the dark forest. The doorway format portrait adds depth to this scene, drawing us into Red Riding Hood's world as if we were standing right beside her. The use of black and white further enhances its timeless quality, allowing us to appreciate every intricate detail captured by Herschan's lens. As we gaze upon this print, we cannot help but feel a surge of anticipation ourselves - wondering what lies behind that wooden door; whether danger or salvation awaits our heroine inside. It serves as a reminder that even within familiar stories like Little Red Riding Hood, there is always room for interpretation and imagination. Otto Herschan's photograph immortalizes one moment from a classic fairy tale while leaving countless possibilities open for exploration.
