EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "PRINCESS AND THE PEA" takes us back to the enchanting world of fairy tales. Created by the talented artist Arthur Rackham in 1933, this drawing beautifully captures a scene from Hans Christian Andersen's beloved story. In this illustration, we find ourselves inside a luxurious bedroom adorned with intricate details. A majestic canopy bed stands at the center, draped in regal fabrics and delicate lace curtains. The attention to detail is remarkable as every fold and crease is meticulously depicted by Rackham's skilled hand. Atop the towering mattress lies a petite princess, her royal crown glistening under the soft glow of candlelight. With an air of elegance and grace, she delicately lifts a corner of her bedding to reveal a single pea hidden beneath layers upon layers of mattresses. The presence of this tiny green legume holds great significance as it tests the sensitivity of our princess; only someone truly noble can feel its discomfort through such opulence. This timeless tale reminds us that true royalty lies not in material wealth but rather in compassion and empathy for others. Rackham's illustration transports us into this magical realm where dreams come alive on paper. It serves as a testament to his mastery as an illustrator who effortlessly brings stories to life through his artistry and imagination.
