That’s what I was thinking too.
I doubt it. If it were then he’d have been depicted accurately like everyone else. I think it’s foreshadowing of something or someone we haven’t seen yet. Whatever it is…it looks mean and creepy >>

Obviously more accurate than our versions of the tales but doesn’t Henry’s book say Hansel and Gretel were abandoned by their father in the woods when, in reality, he was kidnapped by Regina so that she could use Hansel and Gretel to get the magic apple from the blind witch?
All magic comes with a price!

That could work. The feather is red. This is maybe the feather that Rumple uses so often to get the contract with Cora and Cindarella let him sign with it to and this is maybe the reason, why Henry didn’t guss who Gold’s real self is.
That sounds very plausible. In the Cinderella episode, the red quill is something Blue Fairy enchanted so it wasn’t his normal quill that he used with Cora, so not sure why it is in his cap, but it is an illustration. Plus, the Imp in the pictures is also missing one shoe, which could be a nod to Cinderella.
I just rewatched that episode, and was surprised that Henry is staring at an illustration of what I think is Bailee Madison as Young Snow. That episode didn’t air until later in the season. It seems they usually are pretty deliberate about what they show out of that book, so if there was a clear shot of this little fellow, perhaps we’ll see the scene that it draws from soon. Well…aside from this silly weeks long break !

If Rumple were depicted in the book as looking like Mr Gold, then Henry would have known who Mr Gold’s counterpart was, but we clearly saw him tell Emma in season one that he hadn’t figured him out yet.
This illustration could have simply been a shoutout to Rumple, to go along with Greg mentioning Carlisle (Carlyle) Pennsylvania, in what was technically a Robert-less episode.
Another possibility, is he is the bad elf /gnome that was one of the crowd of “darkest souls” that Regina gathered to cast the curse. He laughs when Regina puts the horse heart in and the curse doesn’t work, and she turns him to stone. Then the next scene shows him in her garden in Storybrooke as a statue. They never followed up on any of those characters, so not sure why they might now with so many other characters already added into the story. So I still think it must be how Rumpel is depicted in cursed form in the book.

If you zoom in several times, it appears like the strange little man is holding a bundle, rather like a baby. Rumple is quite the baby-snatcher. You never know.

So thanks to google image search I’ve found out that this is an illustration by Arthur Rackham called “Old Elf hiding behing Tulips” and it is from the book “Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens” source.
The other illustration we just can see partially is also by Arthur Rackham and it’s from the fairy tale “The Three Little Men in the Wood”.

This shows that, in telling the story of Peter Pan, to begin with the goat (as most people do) is as silly as to put on your jacket before your vest.
This makes me 😆 about the nickname I used for GregOwen and Tamara, GOAT.
Clessidor, that was a great find of the picture.

Nice finds there, Clessidor! I’m not sure those characters are significant enough to feature in OUAT. I have a feeling those pictures might’ve just been place holders in the book.
