EDITORS COMMENTS
The Rats: A Captivating Scene from the Pied Piper of Hamelin". This enchanting chromolitho print, titled "The Rats" captures a pivotal moment from the beloved European folk tale, The Pied Piper of Hamelin. Created by an anonymous 19th-century European artist, this image is part of a private collection and showcases the scene where the ratcatcher plays his mesmerizing tune on his pipe. Underneath a moonlit sky, we find ourselves in a quaint street illuminated by flickering lanterns. The musician stands at its center, skillfully playing his haunting melody that echoes through every corner. As if under a spell, rats emerge from every nook and cranny to follow him obediently. This educational card was originally produced by Liebig as part of their informative series. It beautifully illustrates how music can be used for pest control in this timeless fairy tale setting. Julius Wolff's meticulous attention to detail brings life to each rat scurrying along with their beady eyes fixed on the piper. The story originates from the German town of Hamelin (Hameln), known for its rich folklore and legends. This particular rendition pays homage to German culture while also capturing elements of Northern Germany's picturesque streetscape. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, let us immerse ourselves in this whimsical world where music holds extraordinary power over both man and beast alike.
