EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled ""Strange names were over the doors-strange faces at the windows-everything was strange. ", we are transported to a world of mystery and intrigue. The image, created by Arthur Rackham in 1910, beautifully captures a scene from Washington Irving's renowned story "Rip Van Winkle". As we gaze upon the print, our eyes are immediately drawn to the peculiar names adorning each door and the unfamiliar faces peering out from behind the windows. It is as if we have stumbled upon an enchanted village where everything is shrouded in enigma. The interior of this quaint room reveals a young girl sitting by a gate leg table, engrossed in her sewing box. The curtains gently billow with an unseen breeze while a cotton reel rests on top of the table. Through the window, we catch glimpses of lush greenery outside. This evocative composition not only transports us visually but also immerses us in history. Set against the backdrop of pre- and post-American Revolutionary War era, it invites us to explore themes of change and transformation. Rackham's masterful use of color lithography brings vibrancy to every detail within this artwork. From intricate patterns on fabrics to delicate brushstrokes that bring life to each character's face – his talent shines through. This mesmerizing print serves as both an homage to Irving's timeless tale and an invitation for viewers to embark on their own imaginative journey into Rip
