EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Rumpelstiltskin, 1909" transports viewers into the enchanting world of a classic fairy tale. Created by renowned illustrator Arthur Rackham in the early 20th century, this print captures a pivotal moment from The Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm. In this whimsical scene, we find ourselves gathered around a crackling fire in a wooden hut deep within an ancient woodland. Our attention is immediately drawn to an indescribably ridiculous little man who leaps and hops on one leg while singing joyfully. His mischievous energy fills the air as he embodies Rumpelstiltskin himself. Dressed in a coat adorned with braces and topped with an eccentric hat, Rumpelstiltskin captivates us with his magical presence. The intricate details of his shoes showcase Rackham's mastery as they seem to come alive with every jump. The atmosphere is further enhanced by the presence of a kettle hanging from above, suspended by an old pulley system. This hints at the mystical powers that surround our peculiar protagonist. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing illustration, we are reminded of the timeless allure of fairy tales and their ability to transport us to worlds filled with wonder and imagination. It serves as both a testament to Rackham's artistic brilliance and as an invitation for viewers young and old alike to rediscover these beloved stories once more.
