1600 Close Door Way Fairies Fairy Folk Lore Mound Mushrooms Ring
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of these Fairies Dancing, captured in this exquisite 17th century print from Mary Evans Prints Online. This image depicts a lively group of fairies gathered around a mushroom ring, located near the entrance of their hidden fairy mound. The fairies, dressed in delicate, flowing garments, are lost in the joy of their dance, their laughter and merriment echoing through the forest. The historical significance of this print lies in its connection to the rich folk lore and traditions of the past. Fairies have long been a part of European folklore, believed to inhabit the natural world and bring both magic and mischief. According to legend, fairy rings were formed when the fairies danced and stamped their feet, causing mushrooms to grow in a circle around their mound. This charming print, circa 1600, invites us to imagine a time when the natural world was imbued with enchantment and wonder. The intricate details of the fairies' garments and the delicate shading of the mushrooms reveal the skill of the printmaker, who has brought this magical scene to life. The close proximity of the fairies to the doorway of their mound suggests a warm invitation to those who believe, to step closer and join in their dance. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to a time when the boundaries between the natural world and the realm of the supernatural were blurred, and the magic of the fairies was a part of everyday life. This print is not only a beautiful work of art, but a reminder of the enduring power of folklore and the imagination.
