The photograph, held in the esteemed collection of Mary Evans Picture Library from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to an enchanting underwater realm. In the photograph, the ethereal Queen of the Water Babies, adorned with delicate seaweed and aquatic flora, is gently led back by her devoted subjects. The green water-weeds that float at her sides add an otherworldly allure to her regal presence. The scene unfolds as she brings Tom, a young boy from the outside world, to the water's edge, marking a pivotal moment in his transformation into a Water-Baby.
