EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in the classic English fairy tale, "Jack the Giant Killer". Illustrated by Arthur Rackham in 1927, it depicts the giant Galligantua and the wicked old magician as they use their dark magic to transform the duke's daughter into a white hind. The scene is filled with an eerie atmosphere, with hints of fear and danger lingering in every corner. The image showcases Rackham's exceptional talent for bringing fantastical stories to life through his intricate illustrations. The monstrous size of Galligantua looms over the helpless maiden, emphasizing her vulnerability against such overwhelming evil forces. The magician's sinister presence adds an extra layer of malevolence to this already chilling tableau. As children read or hear this story, their imaginations will be ignited by the frightening yet mesmerizing world created within its pages. This illustration perfectly encapsulates that sense of wonder and terror that makes fairy tales so enduringly popular among young readers. With its vibrant colors and attention to detail, this artwork from F. A. Steel's retelling of English Fairy Tales serves as a reminder of how literature can transport us to magical realms where anything is possible – even facing down giants and wicked magicians.
