EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting black and white line drawing, titled "That Was The Greatest of Pleasures" we are transported to a whimsical world of fairy tales. Created by the talented artist W Heath Robinson in the 1930s, this illustration is taken from Hans Christian Andersen's beloved story, Tommelise. The scene captures a delightful moment outdoors on a sunny fall day. A young girl with flowing hair and delicate wings is depicted mid-air, gracefully falling through the sky. With an open book in her hands, she appears to have emerged from its pages into reality. Her playful expression reflects pure joy as she experiences the thrill of flight. Robinson's intricate details bring depth and life to this century-old artwork. The fine lines beautifully capture the essence of Andersen's literature while adding his own unique touch. This portrait transports us back to a time when children's books were cherished treasures that sparked imagination and wonder. As we gaze upon this charming print, we can't help but be reminded of the timeless magic found within fairy tales. It serves as a gentle reminder that even in our modern lives, there is still room for childlike wonderment and boundless creativity. This remarkable piece was originally published by Hodder & Stoughton Limited for Boots Pure Drug Co. , London – making it not just art but also an artifact representing early 20th-century publishing history.
