1863 Babies Brought Delicate Dressing Fairies Kingsley Pair Wings
EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting image captures a moment from Lewis Carroll's beloved narrative "Mrs. Doubtfire's Fairy Tales," specifically from the story "The Water-Babies, A Fairy Tale for a Land Baby" by Charles Kingsley, first published in 1863. The scene depicts a group of ethereal fairies, their delicate wings aglow with iridescent hues, entering a room where a baby lies in a tub, surrounded by water. The fairies have come to bestow upon the young one a special gift: a beautiful pair of wings. The baby, with wide, curious eyes, gazes up at the fairies in wonder, as they hover above him, their graceful forms bathed in the soft, natural light filtering through the window. The atmosphere is one of magic and delight, as the fairies gently place the wings on the child's back, their touch as gentle as a whisper. This print, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, transports us to a world of fantasy and imagination, where water babies and fairies coexist in harmony. The story, which combines elements of morality, adventure, and the supernatural, has captivated readers of all ages since its publication over a century ago. This enchanting image is a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and the magic that lies within the pages of a book.
