EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting illustration from Aesop's Fables, artist Arthur Rackham brings to life the whimsical tale of "The Moon and her Mother". The scene depicts a fascinating anthropomorphic portrayal of the Moon, who is shown threading a needle with delicate precision. Her mother stands beside her, offering guidance and support as they engage in this unusual activity. Rackham's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the artwork. The cotton reel sits nearby, ready to provide an endless supply of thread for their sewing endeavor. Against a backdrop of starry skies and fluffy clouds, the Moon and her Mother create a captivating image that transports viewers into the realm of fairy tales. This illustration not only captures our imagination but also carries a moral message within its magical narrative. It reminds us that even celestial beings like the Moon have everyday tasks to accomplish – emphasizing that no matter how grand or small our responsibilities may be, we all play important roles in shaping our world. "The Moon and her Mother" serves as an invitation for children (and adults alike) to explore Aesop's timeless fables filled with valuable lessons. As we gaze upon this delightful print by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded of the power stories hold in igniting curiosity and teaching essential values to young minds.
