EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration from "A Wonder Book for Girls and Boys" by Nathaniel Hawthorne transports us to a mythical world where mermaids with sea-green hair reside. Created in 1928 by the talented artist Arthur Rackham, this colour lithograph print showcases his mastery of capturing fantastical scenes. The image depicts three enchanting mermaids perched on rocks amidst swirling clouds. Their flowing sea-green locks cascade down their backs, adding an ethereal touch to their mesmerizing presence. With scales shimmering under the sunlight, these mythological creatures exude an otherworldly beauty that captivates our imagination. In Greek mythology, mermaids were often associated with sirens who lured sailors with their enchanting voices. However, this illustration focuses on their serene and mysterious nature rather than any potential danger they may pose. The inclusion of three golden apples floating above them adds a sense of wonder and intrigue to the scene. Rackham's attention to detail is evident in every element of this artwork - from the intricate scales on the mermaids' tails to the wisps of cloud surrounding them. This composition not only showcases his artistic skill but also invites us into a realm where myths come alive. As we gaze upon this stunning print, we are transported into a world where legends intertwine with reality, inviting us to explore our own imaginations and embrace the magic that lies within storytelling.
