EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled ""He was only answered by a flock of idle crows, " we are transported into the world of Rip Van Winkle, as imagined by the talented artist Arthur Rackham. The scene depicts a solitary man standing on a path surrounded by towering trees and treetops that seem to whisper secrets from another time. As he looks upwards, his face filled with longing and curiosity, he is met with an unexpected sight - a flock of idle crows perched high above him. The image beautifully captures the essence of Washington Irving's iconic short story, "Rip Van Winkle" published in 1819. Set during the years before and after the American Revolutionary War, it tells the tale of Rip Van Winkle, who falls into a deep sleep only to awaken decades later in a changed world. The presence of these crows adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the composition. Are they merely observers or do they hold some deeper significance? Perhaps they represent time passing unnoticed or serve as messengers from another realm. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork, we are reminded of our own desire for answers in life's journey. Sometimes all we receive are enigmatic responses like those given by these idle crows – leaving us pondering over their hidden meanings amidst nature's beauty. "
