EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled ""Alas! Dear Falada, there thou hangest. . "", we are transported into the enchanting world of The Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm. Created by the talented artist Arthur Rackham in 1909, this colour lithograph captures a poignant moment from the story "The Goosegirl". The image showcases a young girl standing beneath an archway, her shadow stretching across the ground. Clutched tightly in her hand is a crook, symbolizing her role as a shepherdess. However, it is not the girl that immediately draws our attention but rather the striking presence of a horse's head hanging above her. This horse's head belongs to Falada, and its sorrowful expression reflects his tragic fate within this magical fairy tale. As we delve deeper into the narrative, we discover that Falada was once a talking horse who possessed incredible wisdom and power. Now reduced to mere decoration on an archway, his demise serves as a reminder of lost magic and innocence. Surrounded by geese - perhaps representing loyalty or transformation - our young protagonist appears saddened by this sight. Through Rackham's masterful illustration technique and use of color, he transports us into this mythical realm where fables come alive. This evocative print invites viewers to immerse themselves in childhood wonderment while contemplating themes such as loss, destiny, and resilience found within classic fairy tales like "The Goosegirl".
