EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled ""They crowded round him, eyeing im from head to foot with great curiosity" we are transported back in time to the world of Rip Van Winkle. The scene is filled with a bustling crowd of onlookers, both young and old, who have gathered around a man with ragged clothing and an unkempt appearance. The women and men in the crowd cannot help but stare at this mysterious figure, their eyes filled with intrigue and wonder. It is as if they are trying to unravel the secrets hidden within his worn-out exterior. Children stand alongside their parents, equally fascinated by the sight before them. Set against the backdrop of an inn named "Kings Head" this image captures a moment during the American Revolutionary War era. The atmosphere is palpable as townsfolk gather together, perhaps seeking respite or entertainment amidst tumultuous times. Arthur Rackham's masterful use of color lithography brings life to Washington Irving's timeless tale. Through this artwork, we can almost hear whispers among the crowd as they speculate about who this tramp-like figure might be. This print from Fine Art Finder serves as a visual reminder of our innate human curiosity and our desire to understand those who may appear different from us. It invites us to reflect on how appearances can often deceive and reminds us that there is always more than meets the eye.
