EDITORS COMMENTS
Once upon a winter's tale, this enchanting Pauline Baynes illustration graced the cover of the Tatler Christmas number in 1952. The spell-binding image transports us to a magical realm of ice and snow, where a regal Snow Queen glides through the frosty sky with a small boy in tow. Dressed in a shimmering white cloak and icy crown, the Snow Queen exudes an ethereal beauty as she steers her sleigh, adorned with icicles and glistening snowflakes. The boy, bundled up against the cold, gazes up at the Queen in awe, his eyes wide with wonder as they soar through the winter wonderland. The historical setting is further emphasized by the elegant, Victorian-inspired attire of the Queen and the intricate details of the sleigh and its horses. Baynes' illustration is reminiscent of her work on the Narnia books by C.S. Lewis, showcasing her signature whimsical style and attention to detail. The icy landscape, with its frozen trees and twinkling stars, is brought to life in a way that is both captivating and timeless. This fantastical image invites us to suspend disbelief and join the Snow Queen on her flight through the winter sky. With each icy crystal and frozen tree branch, Baynes' illustration transports us to a world of wonder and magic, making it a true holiday classic.
