During a recent portfolio review, while looking for an exemplary photograph of rural life in Germany, I found this older image from a story about the Grimm Brothers’ Fairy Tales I had photographed for @ナショナルジオグラフィック years ago. It shows a local butcher - hired for domestic slaughters by local farmers - cutting a huge chunk of fatty pork, while the granddaughter of the farmer is watching. One wonders, is she laughing or crying?

In the early 1800s brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm published a book of fairy tales that remains unrivaled to this day. It contains such indelible tales as Sleeping Beauty, Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White, Hänsel and Gretel, and Cinderella. They are read today in more than 160 languages. The two brothers, however, did not make up the tales themselves, but gathered them from a variety of storytellers across central Germany.
