EDITORS COMMENTS
In this illustration by Edmund Dulac, we are transported into the enchanting world of Hans Andersen's "The Little Mermaid". The image depicts a pivotal moment in the story when the mermaid holds a bright liquid in her hand, which sparkles like a shining star. As she presents it to the surrounding creatures of the sea, they draw back in terror. Dulac's masterful use of color and detail brings this underwater scene to life. The vibrant hues create an ethereal atmosphere that immerses us in the magical realm of fairy tales. The mermaid herself is portrayed with grace and beauty as she swims effortlessly through the water, her tail elegantly trailing behind her. The contrast between the mesmerizing liquid and the frightened polyps adds depth to this illustration, highlighting both wonder and fear within one frame. It captures a crucial aspect of Andersen's tale - that even something seemingly harmless can evoke terror when encountered for the first time. This timeless piece from 1938 continues to captivate viewers today with its evocative imagery and storytelling prowess. Hilary Jane Morgan has expertly curated this print from Design Pics, preserving its historical significance while allowing us to appreciate its artistic brilliance anew.
