Created around 1880 by an unknown English artist, this colorful lithograph showcases the enchanting world of ballads and songs. In the image, we see a mesmerizing scene unfold before our eyes. A storyteller sits amidst a warm glow of firelight as he reads from a book filled with tales passed down through generations. The vibrant colors bring life to the evening atmosphere, while flickering flames dance in the background. The illustration not only captures the essence of musical storytelling but also hints at the four elements that play a significant role in these ancient ballads - earth, air, water, and fire.
