EDITORS COMMENTS
Once upon a time, in a magical winter wonderland, the Frost Fairies were hard at work. This enchanting illustration, believed to be created around 1944, captures the moment when these mythical beings cling to the thin, fragile tree branches, their icy breath forming intricate patterns in the frosty air. The Frost Fairies, with their delicate wings and rosy cheeks, are a delightful sight, adding a touch of magic to the harsh winter landscape. This charming illustration is a captivating scene from a children's short story, transporting us to a world where the imagination runs wild. The Frost Fairies, with their mischievous grins and twinkling eyes, bring joy and wonder to the hearts of young and old alike. Despite the beauty of this scene, the world outside was far from magical. The year was 1944, and the shadows of World War II loomed large. The 2nd World War, also known as WWII, was a time of great hardship and uncertainty, with the ongoing conflict shaping the lives of people around the world. Amidst the chaos and turmoil, the stories of the Frost Fairies and other magical beings provided a much-needed escape, a moment of respite from the harsh realities of the world. The illustration serves as a reminder of the power of imagination and the importance of holding on to the magic and wonder of childhood, even in the darkest of times. The illustration, part of the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a timeless treasure, a glimpse into a world of enchantment and wonder that continues to captivate and inspire us today.
