EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Little John and the Forester" we are transported back to the enchanting world of Robin Hood and his band of merry men. Created in vibrant color lithography by Walter Crane around 1920, this artwork captures a pivotal moment in English folklore. The scene unfolds deep within Sherwood Forest, where Little John, one of Robin Hood's loyal companions, confronts a forester. Bound by their contrasting roles - one an outlaw and the other a guardian of the forest - tension fills the air as they exchange intense gazes. Dressed in traditional medieval costumes, both figures exude strength and determination. Little John firmly grasps his longbow while carrying an assortment of weapons on his belt. The forester sits atop his majestic horse, symbolizing authority over Nottingham's woodlands. Amidst nature's beauty, wildlife thrives harmoniously with farm animals grazing nearby. This juxtaposition reminds us that even amidst turmoil and conflict, life continues its cycle undisturbed. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print from our private collection, we are reminded of the enduring power of folklore and legends passed down through generations. It serves as a timeless reminder that heroes can emerge from unexpected places to fight for justice against all odds.
