EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting image, first published in 1634, captures the whimsical world of Comus and his band of mischievous fairies and elves frolicking on a moonlit shore. The scene, inspired by the poet John Milton's masque "Comus," presents an ethereal tableau of otherworldly beings dancing in the twilight hours. The fairies, with their delicate wings and diaphanous garments, are in perfect harmony with their natural surroundings, the crashing waves and the gentle breeze. Milton's masque, which was performed at a grand banquet in honor of the future Charles II of England, was a celebration of the power of poetry to transport the audience to another realm. This print, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, invites us to join the fairies and elves in their enchanting dance and to lose ourselves in the magic of the moment. The image, a testament to the enduring allure of the supernatural, continues to captivate and inspire, reminding us of the transformative power of art and the beauty of the natural world.
