EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled "On the Water" brings to life a magical scene from E. T. A. Hoffman's beloved Christmas story, The Nutcracker. Created by the talented artist Carl Offterdinger in 1883, this exquisite colour lithograph transports us into a world of enchantment and wonder. In this whimsical image, we see a charming young girl named Marie seated in a beautifully adorned chariot that glides gracefully on the surface of a serene river. Surrounding her are playful dolphins leaping joyfully through the water, their presence adding an element of magic to this fairy tale setting. Marie holds onto her precious doll tightly as she embarks on an extraordinary journey filled with dreams and adventure. The toy seems to come alive in her hands, becoming more than just an ordinary plaything but rather a companion who will guide her through fantastical realms. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke - from Marie's delicate features and flowing hair to the intricate shell-shaped chariot she sits upon. This German masterpiece captures both the innocence and imagination of childhood while evoking feelings of warmth and nostalgia. As we gaze at this mesmerizing print from Bridgeman Images' collection at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, we can't help but be transported back to our own cherished memories of holiday tales and make-believe worlds. It serves as a reminder that within each one of us lies the ability to embrace our inner child and believe in magic
