EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting hand-colored woodblock print from 1870, we are transported to the magical world of fairies and elves. The Elf king slumbers peacefully under a toadstool, his regal crown resting beside him as he dreams of whimsical adventures. By his side, an elf and a beetle stand watch over their beloved ruler, creating a scene straight out of a fairy tale.
The intricate details in this illustration by Richard Doyle come to life thanks to the skilled hand-coloring by Edmund Evans. Every leaf on the toadstool and every strand of hair on the elves is meticulously brought to vibrant hues that make the image pop with color and charm.
As we gaze upon this scene, we can't help but be drawn into the magic of Fairyland. The Victorian era comes alive through this beautiful artwork, capturing the imagination of both children and adults alike. It's a reminder that sometimes it's important to take a moment to dream and let our minds wander into fantastical realms where anything is possible.
This print serves as a delightful escape from reality, inviting us to explore the wonders of nature alongside these mystical creatures. Let yourself be whisked away into this world where even beetles play an essential role in tending to their sleeping king under the protective shelter of a towering mushroom.
