EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting lithograph by Walter Crane, we are transported into the realm of fairy tales and magic. The scene depicts a serene riverbank adorned with lily pads and vibrant flowers, where a young girl stands in awe before the Nix-lady - her own godmother. The Nix-lady, a beautiful mermaid-like creature, reaches out to the child with tenderness and love. Her presence exudes warmth and protection as she assures the little one, "I am here dearest little one - I am your own godmother". It is a moment filled with wonder and anticipation as the girl's dreams are about to come true. Surrounded by an ethereal atmosphere created by ripples on the water's surface and willow branches gently swaying in the breeze, we can almost feel the magic that permeates this scene. The Nix-lady holds a ball that symbolizes wishes granted; it is now time for our protagonist to make her desires known. This illustration comes from Mrs Burton Harrison's Folk and Fairy Tales published in 1885. It captures not only Crane's exceptional artistic talent but also his ability to transport us into fantastical worlds through his intricate engravings. As we gaze upon this print, we cannot help but be captivated by its beauty and charm. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of imagination and how even in our everyday lives, there may be hidden realms waiting for us to discover.
