EDITORS COMMENTS
Once upon a time in the enchanted realm of fairy tales, a valiant prince embarks on a perilous quest to awaken the beautiful Sleeping Beauty. In this illustration by the renowned Arthur Rackham, the historical figure is depicted attempting to force his way through the dense, thorny thicket that surrounds the forbidden castle. The silhouette of the prince, clad in armor and brandishing a sword, is a stark contrast against the spooky, moonlit forest, as he bravely faces the formidable barrier that stands between him and his beloved. The thicket, teeming with thorns, is a testament to the powerful enchantment that holds Sleeping Beauty in an eternal slumber. The fairy tale, steeped in history and folklore, comes alive through Rackham's masterful use of silhouettes, creating an eerie and mysterious atmosphere that is both beautiful and terrifying. The prince's determination is evident in his determined stance, as he battles against the natural elements, undeterred by the fearsome thorns that threaten to impede his progress. This hauntingly beautiful image, created in 1920, is a timeless reminder of the power of love and the lengths one will go to for the one they adore. The story of Sleeping Beauty, with its intricate plot and unforgettable characters, continues to captivate audiences of all ages, and Rackham's illustrations remain a testament to the enduring allure of fairy tales. This print, with its rich history and evocative imagery, is a must-have for any collector of fairy tale art or those who seek to be transported to a world of enchantment and wonder.
