Illustration One - Marissa Henderson


Type: Gallery Image | Not Vetted



Fig. 1. Craik, Maria Dinah. The Little Lame Prince and His Travelling Cloak Image Ten. COVE Studio. https://studio.covecollective.org/en/annotate/bfcdfe50-f6a9-4fa7-850f-97....

The chosen image is from the COVE Studios rendition of The Little Lame Prince, the artist of the image is unlisted. The image features the Prince when he was in the tower and when he was visited by the Godmother. In this image, she has a cane. The text states that she dropped her cane before speaking with him and the image shows her cane next to her as she is kneeling next to the bed of the Prince. This image adds to the text as it gives us a visual of a different prosthetic device as well as conveying an emotional connection between the Prince and the Godmother as she kneels next to the prince bringing them onto the same level for conversation. While it was mentioned in the text, the artist decided to include this minute detail in the image. The cane establishes a sense of vulnerability and tenderness, especially when associated with an elderly woman. This image was also interesting because it paired young disability with elderly disability. This shows how disability is something that knows no age and can affect anyone regardless of whether they are young or elderly. Another pertinent aspect of the image is that the Godmother is featured wearing a cloak. The text states that she gives a cloak to the Prince. It is possible that she removed the cloak from her back and donned it to the Prince. Her cane may be used as a mobility aid after she has given the cloak away. With this addition to the image, one might wonder if the Godmother also had a need for the cloak as a mobility aid. Perhaps she is passing it down from one generation to the next. If this were the case, the image features two mobility aids in view, one of which is magic, while the other is non-magical.
