EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting watercolour drawing, titled "Riquet with the Tuft" transports us into the whimsical world of Charles Perrault's Fairy Tales. Created in 1923 by talented artist Harry Clarke, this artwork captures a moment from one of Perrault's beloved stories. In this scene, we find ourselves amidst a lush woodland setting where a group of people gather. The focal point is a young woman dressed in an exquisite green gown, her hoop skirt billowing gracefully around her. She holds an umbrella above her head, shielding herself from the dappled sunlight that filters through the trees. The woman appears to be engaged in conversation with two men standing nearby. One can't help but notice their elegant attire and refined demeanor, suggesting they are characters of importance within the story. Clarke's masterful use of colour and intricate detailing brings this fairy tale illustration to life. Every leaf on each tree seems meticulously rendered while maintaining an ethereal quality that adds to the magical atmosphere. As we gaze upon this print from British Book Illustration - Yesterday and To-day edited by Geoffrey Holme, we are transported back to 1920s Britain—a time when literature and art flourished hand-in-hand. This piece serves as a testament to both Perrault's enduring tales and Clarke's exceptional talent as an illustrator.
