EDITORS COMMENTS
Once Upon a Time in a Far-Off Land: A Nobleman's Pride and Prejudice in William Heath Robinson's Illustration for Cinderella (Old Time Stories, 1921) In this enchanting illustration by the renowned British artist William Heath Robinson, we are transported to a time and place of fairytales and aristocratic elegance. The scene unfolds before us as a plump, haughty nobleman, with a curly wig and an air of condescension, sits in the grandeur of his castle's throne room. His eyes are fixed on a beautiful, unassuming maiden, who stands humbly before him, her head bowed in submission. The nobleman's courtier, a thin, sly man in resplendent attire, looks on with a smirk, relishing the moment of the nobleman's pride and prejudice. The maiden, who we know to be Cinderella, remains unaware of the transformation that awaits her. The magic of the fairy godmother has yet to work its wonders, and the glass slipper, the key to her future happiness, lies hidden from the nobleman's grasp. This image, created by Heath Robinson for Old Time Stories in 1921, is a testament to the timeless allure of fairytales and the power of transformation. The nobleman's pride and prejudice are contrasted with the humility and grace of Cinderella, reminding us of the importance of looking beyond appearances and recognizing the true worth of an individual.
