EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration brings to life the whimsical yet sinister world of Christina Rossetti's beloved poem, "Goblin Market." Dated to 1920, this exquisite print showcases the folkloric scene of two women, Lizzie and Laura, enticed by the little goblins and their irresistible offerings of exotic fruits. The goblins, with their mischievous grins and animalistic features, represent the allure of temptation and danger that lurks in the shadows of the supernatural world. The illustration masterfully captures the essence of the poem, which explores themes of temptation, sisterly love, and the consequences of indulgence. The women, dressed in simple, flowing garments, are completely entranced by the goblins and their fruits, oblivious to the potential danger lurking in their seductive promises. The illustration also showcases the unique artistic style of the 1920s, with its intricate details, bold lines, and rich colors. The use of dark, moody tones adds to the sinister atmosphere, while the contrasting bright colors of the goblin fruits highlight their allure. This illustration is a beautiful addition to any collection of poetry, folklore, or art from the early 20th century. It invites the viewer to step into the enchanting yet dangerous world of "Goblin Market," where the line between desire and danger is blurred, and the consequences of indulgence are uncertain.
