EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving by R. A. Artlett that showcases the ethereal beauty of mythology. In this enchanting artwork, we are transported to a realm where fairies exist and magic reigns supreme. At the center of the composition, a naked fairy reclines gracefully on the back of a majestic swan. With delicate wings spread wide, she cradles a sleeping infant against her breast, radiating maternal tenderness and protection. The fairy's serene expression reflects her deep connection with nature and her role as guardian of all things innocent and pure. Intriguingly, the fairy holds papyrus in one hand while an anchor rests behind her. These symbols suggest both knowledge and stability - perhaps signifying that wisdom and steadfastness are essential for nurturing young souls. Charles Francis Fuller's masterful engraving brings every intricate detail to life, capturing the delicacy of each stroke with precision. The subtle play of light adds depth to this mythical scene, enhancing its dreamlike quality. This remarkable print invites us into a world where imagination knows no bounds; it reminds us that even in our modern lives, there is still room for wonderment and awe inspired by ancient tales. "The Peri and Child" serves as a timeless reminder that love transcends time itself - an enduring testament to the power of mythological storytelling captured through artistry.
