EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration from "The Heroes of Greek Fairy Tales" by Charles Kingsley depicts a mesmerizing scene where the water nymphs are enchanted by the presence of Hylas. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this mythical moment to life. In the image, we see Hylas standing in a serene river surrounded by lush woodlands. As he swims gracefully, his youthful charm catches the attention of the ethereal water nymphs who emerge from the depths to gaze upon him with adoration. Their enchantment is palpable as they become besotted with his beauty. Hylas, known for being an enchanting companion of Heracles, finds himself in an otherworldly glen where time seems to stand still. The nymphs' infatuation with him hints at their desire for eternal youth and immortality that only someone as fair and handsome as Hylas possesses. Davie's skillful use of color lithography beautifully captures the magical essence of this moment. Each brushstroke adds depth to this enchanted forest setting, making it easy for viewers to imagine themselves transported into this fantastical world. This print serves as a reminder that beauty can captivate even those who possess immortal grace. It invites us to explore our own desires for everlasting charm while appreciating the allure found within nature's hidden realms.
