EDITORS COMMENTS
The Dream Pedlar: A Visions of Lady Margaret Sackville, an intriguing journey into the whimsical world of Molly MacArthur's illustrations, showcased in this enchanting print titled "Where Mushrooms Grow." Dating back to 1914, this artwork was created during the early years of MacArthur's career, under the name F.M. Anderson, before she adopted the pseudonym Molly MacArthur. In this illustration, the dreamlike scene unfolds as a peddler, a figure from folklore who sells dreams, traverses a fantastical landscape. Surrounded by a lush, otherworldly forest, the peddler weaves his way through a sea of vibrant mushrooms, their caps bursting with color and texture. The ethereal beauty of the mushrooms is further accentuated by the delicate, intricate details in the illustration, reminiscent of the Art Nouveau style popular during the early 1900s. At this time, MacArthur was known for her highly-decorative fairy art, as evidenced in this print. However, her artistic evolution would soon lead her to produce beautiful monotone woodcuts in a distinctly oriental style. This transition marked a significant shift in her artistic approach, which would come to define her later works. As a testament to the enduring allure of MacArthur's illustrations, "Where Mushrooms Grow" continues to captivate viewers with its dreamlike quality and intricate detail. This enchanting print invites us to explore the depths of our imagination and embark on a journey through the whimsical world of The Dream Pedlar.
