EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting colour lithograph from 1922, we are transported into the world of English Fairy Tales. The scene captures a magical moment as Tattercoats, a poor and ragged girl, dances joyfully while the goosherd plays his pipes on the riverbank. Illustrated by Arthur Rackham (1867-1939), renowned for his whimsical and imaginative artwork, this print is a testament to his talent in bringing fairy stories to life. The vibrant colours of the lithograph add depth and richness to the illustration, enhancing its ethereal quality. Tattercoats' tattered clothing contrasts with her graceful movements, symbolizing her resilience and inner beauty despite her humble circumstances. The geese surrounding them create an atmosphere of playful harmony as they join in the dance. This image evokes a sense of wonderment and transports us back to a time when fairy tales captivated our imaginations. It reminds us that even in times of hardship, there is always room for joy and magic if we open ourselves up to it. As part of the Historica Graphica Collection, this print holds historical significance as it showcases Rackham's contribution to illustrating classic fairy tales. Whether displayed in a child's bedroom or an art lover's study, this image will continue to inspire awe and ignite our imagination for generations to come.
