EDITORS COMMENTS
In this illustration from James Stephens' Irish Fairy Tales, artist Arthur Rackham brings to life a moment of intense emotion and danger. The print depicts a scene where the protagonist, Becfola, finds herself in a perilous situation as she gazes down at a horde of snarling and aggressive wolves. With an expression filled with anger and despair, her eyes reflect the weight of her predicament. Rackham's use of vibrant colors in this lithograph adds depth and intensity to the image. The contrasting hues highlight both the princess's vulnerability perched on the branches of a tree and the menacing nature of the wild animals below. As she clings tightly to safety above ground, it is evident that Becfola's survival depends on her ability to outwit these ferocious creatures. This artwork not only captures an important moment within Irish mythology but also serves as a visual representation of resilience in times of adversity. It reminds us that even when faced with overwhelming challenges, we have within us the strength to confront them head-on. The combination of Rackham's artistic talent and Stephens' storytelling creates an enchanting piece that invites viewers into an ancient world where mythical beings roam freely alongside humans. This print is sure to captivate anyone who appreciates artistry intertwined with folklore.
