Gossip about Fairies 16 - The Mischievous Robin Goodfellow, also known as Puck This 19th-century print, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases the enchanting figure of Robin Goodfellow, or Puck, a beloved character from world-wide folklore. Puck is depicted here as a mischievous sprite, holding a lantern and eavesdropping on a group of fairies engaged in a lively gossip session. Robin Goodfellow, also known as Puck, is a legendary character rooted in ancient European folklore. He is often described as a shape-shifting trickster, capable of both good and bad deeds, but generally regarded as a benevolent figure. His presence in nature was believed to bring good fortune and protect crops, especially in rural communities. The print's historical context is not explicitly stated, but the Victorian era is a strong possibility, given the intricate detail and the elegant, whimsical style of the illustration. The use of a lantern, a common tool for fairy hunters in folklore, adds an element of intrigue and mystery to the scene. The gossiping fairies, with their delicate wings and ethereal features, create a sense of wonder and enchantment, while the mischievous Puck, with his playful grin, invites us to join in the magical world of fairies and folklore. This 16th print is a delightful reminder of the rich history and enduring allure of these mystical beings, and a testament to the power of imagination and storytelling. Whether used as a conversation starter, a decorative piece, or a source of inspiration, this print is a must-have for anyone with a love for history, folklore, or the natural world. Let the enchanting world of Robin Goodfellow and his fairy companions transport you to a realm of magic and wonder.
