EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Kobolds" takes us on a journey into the mystical world of gnomes, fairies, elves, and other little creatures. Created by American School in the 19th century and published in 1880 as part of Thomas Keightley's renowned book "The World Guide to Gnomes, Fairies, Elves and Other Little People" this print offers a glimpse into the enchanting realm of folklore. In this particular scene, we witness a group of Kobolds - house spirits known for their mischievous nature - amidst an underground cave. These German creatures are identical to Danish Nis, Scottish Brownie, and English Hobgoblin counterparts. As miners work diligently in the background, these elusive beings observe with curiosity. Legend has it that after undergoing trials within a household they wish to inhabit, Kobolds attach themselves to homes where they expect care and sustenance from maids. This symbiotic relationship between humans and supernatural beings is beautifully depicted through intricate details captured by the artist. The grayscale tones add depth to every line etched onto paper while evoking an air of mystery surrounding these diminutive figures. The composition invites viewers into their hidden world as they navigate dark caverns filled with secrets waiting to be discovered. This mesmerizing print from Bridgeman Images' Private Collection allows us to delve into centuries-old mythology while igniting our imagination with tales passed down through generations.
