EDITORS COMMENTS
by Lilian Govey: A Timeless Tale of Magic and Deception This image by Lilian Govey, titled "Rumplestiltskin," transports us to the enchanting world of fairy tales as told by the Brothers Grimm. Dated 1912, this beautiful print depicts a pivotal moment in the story of Rumplestiltskin, where the maiden, with a look of distress and despair, is unable to spin gold from the straw given to her by the mischievous and cunning fairy, Rumplestiltskin. The maiden, with her long, flowing hair and an expression of intense concentration, sits before a bale of straw. Her spindle lies abandoned, the straw yet untouched, as she buries her face in her hands, overwhelmed by the seemingly impossible task set before her. The atmosphere is heavy with tension and anticipation, as the consequences of her failure loom large. Rumplestiltskin, a supernatural character known for his ability to spin straw into gold, had demanded the firstborn child of the maiden as payment for solving her dilemma. With the deadline fast approaching and no solution in sight, the maiden's fate hangs in the balance. Lilian Govey's masterful use of color and detail brings this classic tale to life, immersing us in the magic and mystery of Rumplestiltskin's world. This exquisite print is a testament to the enduring power of fairy tales to captivate and inspire, and serves as a reminder of the timeless themes of perseverance, deception, and the power of the impossible.
