EDITORS COMMENTS
Arthur Rackham's enchanting illustration, 'Dick Whittington Arrives on the Coast of Barbary,' transports us to an exotic land where the intrepid hero and his shipmates are warmly welcomed by the Moorish inhabitants. The silhouetted figures of the sailors, clad in European attire, sit at a low table, drinking from ornate cups and feasting on delicious Eastern delicacies. The Moors, dressed in flowing robes and turbans, entertain them with tales of their land and its mysteries. Suddenly, the idyllic scene is disrupted as rats and mice scamper across the table, threatening to ruin the feast. In a stroke of fate, Dick Whittington's cat, perched on the ship in the background, leaps into action, silhouetted against the moonlit sky. With a fierce determination, the cat sets upon the vermin, restoring order and ensuring the safety of the ship's company. This image, created by the renowned illustrator Arthur Rackham in 1933, brings to life the timeless tale of Dick Whittington and his cat. The story of the young man who sets sail in search of his fortune and finds it in the most unexpected of places continues to enchant and inspire generations. With its rich colors, intricate details, and evocative silhouettes, this print is a must-have for any collection of classic children's literature or folktales.
