EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an enchanting illustration from A Picture Song Book, created by George Howard, the 9th Earl of Carlisle in 1910. The artwork depicts a scene from the legendary tale of "The Laidley Worm of Spindleston Heugel". In this medieval fairy tale, a wicked witch casts a spell on a beautiful princess, transforming her into a fearsome dragon-like creature known as the Laidley Worm. The princess is guarded by knights and soldiers who protect her within the walls of their castle fortress. The illustration captures the dramatic moment when Childe Wynde, the brave hero of the story, confronts the guards while flames engulf their dwelling. With determination in his eyes and sword raised high, Childe Wynde battles to break through their defenses and rescue Princess Elaine from her fiery prison. The coastal landscape surrounding the castle adds to the mystical ambiance of this children's story. The shoreline stretches out towards an endless sea, symbolizing both danger and possibility for our young protagonist. Through vivid colors and intricate details, George Howard brings this timeless tale to life with his artistic prowess. This print serves as a reminder that even in dark times filled with spells and wicked witches, there is always hope for redemption and heroic triumphs.
