EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting illustration, first published in 1836, depicts the legendary mermaid, a captivating nymph of the sea, coming into contact with an octopus and its polyps. The illustration is taken from Hans Christian Andersen's timeless fairy tale, "The Little Mermaid." In this scene, the mermaid, with her ethereal beauty and long flowing hair, reaches out to touch the tentacles of the octopus, only to elicit a startled response from the creature and its protective polyps. The illustration is a masterpiece by the renowned artist, Rackham, who brought Andersen's tales to life through his intricate and imaginative illustrations. The detail in this print is exquisite, with the mermaid's delicate features and the undulating movements of the octopus and its polyps, all set against the backdrop of the vast and mysterious underwater world. The mermaid's tale is a classic in the history of fairy tales, and this illustration is a testament to the enduring appeal of these stories. The image of the mermaid and the octopus, with the polyps shrinking back in terror, is a poignant reminder of the intrigue and wonder that lies beneath the surface of the sea. Andersen's tale of the little mermaid has been retold and reimagined countless times, but this illustration by Rackham remains a favorite among fans of the original story. The image is a beautiful representation of the magical world of the sea and the enchanting creatures that inhabit it, and it continues to captivate and inspire generations of readers and viewers.
