EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "When it was sharp enough, he looked round at strangers" we are transported into the enchanting world of Little Brother & Little Sister and Other Tales by the Brothers Grimm. Illustrated by Arthur Rackham in 1917, this lithograph captures a pivotal moment in a magical fairy tale. The image reveals an old man with a hunchback, skillfully portrayed by Rackham's intricate lines and attention to detail. He holds a knife in his hand, its blade gleaming with sharpness. As he looks around at strangers, one can't help but wonder about the secrets hidden within his weathered face. Surrounded by goldsmith tools and tailor equipment, we sense that this mysterious figure possesses extraordinary skills beyond what meets the eye. Perhaps he is more than just an ordinary old man; maybe he holds the key to unlocking mythical realms or ancient powers. This print transports us back to our childhood days when fairy tales ignited our imaginations. It reminds us of the magic that lies within stories passed down through generations – tales of elves, pixies, and other fantastical creatures who inhabit unseen worlds. Rackham's illustration beautifully captures both the whimsy and mystery inherent in these timeless narratives while inviting viewers to embark on their own imaginative journey through folklore and myth.
