EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "A Pair of Angels" created in 1897 by Herbert Granville Fell. The artwork, measuring 24.7x21.2x1.1 cm, is a stunning combination of transparent vellum over painted paper with gilding, exuding an aura of ethereal beauty and religious significance. The two angels depicted in the image stand side by side, their arms raised in worship towards the heavens. With their brown hair flowing gracefully around them, these female celestial beings emanate a sense of divine power and grace. Fell's decorative technique and use of color create a mesmerizing visual experience that transports viewers to the late nineteenth century art nouveau era. The intricate details on vellum add depth to the piece while the golden accents enhance its sacred nature. This rare book illustration from Cedric Chivers' collection captures a moment frozen in time when only women were allowed to participate in certain religious rituals or communicate directly with heavenly entities. The English text on vellum references biblical passages such as the Song of Solomon from the Old Testament. Overall, this exquisite artwork serves as a testament to Fell's talent as an illustrator and his ability to evoke profound emotions through his work. It stands as a timeless symbol of devotion and spirituality that continues to inspire awe even today.
