EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Mime and the Infant, 1924" showcases the extraordinary talent of artist Arthur Rackham. Taken from his illustration in Siegfried and the Twilight of the Gods, this piece depicts a heartwarming scene between Mime, a dwarf character from Germanic mythology, and an infant Siegfried. The lithograph beautifully captures Mime's tender expression as he speaks lovingly about raising Siegfried since infancy. Arthur Rackham's mastery shines through in this colorful artwork that transports viewers to a mythical world filled with heroes and legends. The attention to detail is remarkable, showcasing Rackham's ability to bring characters to life on paper. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for childhood innocence and wonder. It reminds us of the power of storytelling and how it can transport us into realms beyond our own reality. This particular illustration originates from a private collection but has found its way into the Historica Graphica Collection due to its historical significance. As we gaze upon this enchanting piece by Arthur Rackham, we are reminded of Richard Wagner's epic opera Der Ring des Nibelungen which inspired these illustrations. Through his artistry, Rackham immortalizes both Wagner's work and Norse mythology itself, leaving behind an enduring legacy that continues to captivate audiences even today.
