EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century literature and art. Illustrated by the renowned George Cruikshank, it depicts a scene from the poem "The Lay of St. Medard" found in Thomas Ingoldsby's book "The Ingoldsby Legends or Mirth and Marvels" published in 1865. In this vivid illustration, we are transported into a realm where mythical creatures roam freely. The devil himself, portrayed with mischievous charm by Cruikshank's skilled hand, is captured mid-action as he hops, skips, bellows, and roars with boundless energy. His fiery eyes gleam with an otherworldly intensity that both intrigues and unsettles. Cruikshank's attention to detail shines through every stroke of his pen; each line brings life to this fantastical creature. The devil's nimble movements seem almost dance-like as he effortlessly traverses the page. "The Lay of St. Medard" is a poetic masterpiece that intertwines elements of folklore and legend within its verses. This particular illustration perfectly captures the essence of the poem – an encounter between Saint Medard and Nick O' Old Nick (the devil) himself. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork by George Cruikshank, we can't help but be drawn into its magical allure—a testament to both his artistic prowess and Thomas Ingoldsby's imaginative storytelling abilities.
