EDITORS COMMENTS
The Flotsam & Jetsam of the Sea, by Charles Robinson (1939) This exquisite illustration by Charles Robinson, dated 1939, transports us to a mesmerizing world where the line between reality and myth blurs. The image captures the enchanting moment as a sailor and a lady friend lean over the edge of a ship, gazing in awe at the captivating mermaids frolicking in the crystal-clear waters below. Mermaids, those mythical creatures with the upper body of a woman and the lower body of a fish, have been a part of various cultures' folklore for centuries. In this illustration, Robinson masterfully brings these legendary beings to life, with their flowing hair, delicate features, and graceful tails. The mermaids, adorned with pearls and other treasures, appear to be playfully interacting with the flotsam and jetsam that float on the sea's surface. The sailor and his lady friend, captivated by the sight, seem to be suspended in time, their expressions a mix of wonder and longing. The ship, with its sails billowing in the wind, serves as a reminder of the world they have left behind, while the mermaids represent the allure and mystery of the unknown depths of the sea. This beautiful work of art, created by the talented Charles Robinson in 1939, invites us to explore the rich history and timeless legends of mermaids and the sea. The intricate details, vibrant colors, and evocative storytelling make this illustration a must-have for any collection focused on myth, fantasy, or the history of art.
