EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting 1911 illustration depicts Robin Goodfellow, also known as Puck, a mischievous sprite from English folklore. With a twinkle in his eye and a cheeky grin, Robin Goodfellow is often portrayed as a little goblin or fairy, capable of causing both harm and delight. He is a central character in Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream," where he is described as a "lovers' knot of mischief" and the "merry wanderer of the night." Robin Goodfellow is typically depicted with pointed ears, a small stature, and a habit of playing pranks on unsuspecting humans. In this illustration, he is shown holding a lantern, its blue light casting an ethereal glow over his mischievous features. The image captures the essence of the sprite's playful and naughty nature, inviting us to imagine a world where the line between the natural and the supernatural is blurred. The illustration is reminiscent of the rich literary and artistic traditions surrounding Robin Goodfellow and his ilk, which have captivated the imaginations of people for centuries. The image is a testament to the enduring power of folklore and the human desire to believe in the existence of magical beings that inhabit our world, just beyond the veil of the everyday. Whether you believe in the reality of sprites like Robin Goodfellow or not, this illustration is sure to bring a touch of magic and wonder to any space.
