EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled "Gulliver kisses the Queen of Brobdingnag's hand," is an enchanting depiction of a scene from Jonathan Swift's classic satirical novel, "Gulliver's Travels," published in 1726. The illustration, created in the late 19th or early 20th century by the renowned English artist and illustrator, Arthur Rackham (1867-1939), showcases the iconic moment when Gulliver, a small human, pays his respects to the Queen of Brobdingnag, a giantess, by kissing her hand. The illustration is rendered in the elegant Art Nouveau style, characterized by its organic and flowing lines, intricate patterns, and decorative motifs. The border of the print is adorned with cherubs and delicate floral designs, adding to the overall ornate and whimsical aesthetic. Rackham's masterful use of color and shading brings the scene to life, with the Queen's regal countenance and delicate fingers contrasting sharply with Gulliver's diminutive size and earnest expression. The Queen's bracelet, a stunning accessory adorned with precious gems, adds an air of opulence to the scene. The illustration is a testament to Rackham's exceptional talent for bringing literary works to life through his vivid and imaginative illustrations. The image transports viewers to a fantastical world of giants and tiny humans, where the impossible becomes possible and the ordinary is turned on its head. This exquisite print, with its intricate details and beautiful design, is a must-have for any collector of vintage illustrations or fans of Gulliver's Travels. It is a timeless work of art that continues to captivate and delight viewers over a century after its creation.
