EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "He Did Not Come to Woo Her, He Said" we are transported back to the enchanting world of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales. Created by the talented artist W Heath Robinson in the 1930s, this illustration captures a pivotal moment from The Snow Queen. Set against a picturesque outdoor backdrop, we find ourselves in a royal court where an intriguing discussion is taking place. A wise princess sits gracefully on her throne, surrounded by attendants and courtiers dressed in vibrant shades of pink. As she holds a book filled with timeless wisdom, her attentive audience hangs onto every word she utters. The arrival of an overweight gentleman adds an element of surprise to the scene. With his checked attire and rose in hand, it becomes clear that he did not come to woo the princess but rather seek her guidance and intellect. This unexpected twist showcases the depth and complexity of characters found within Andersen's stories. Through Robinson's masterful use of color and detail, this portrait transports us into a fantastical realm where literature meets royalty. It serves as a reminder that true beauty lies not only in physical appearances but also in intellectual pursuits and meaningful conversations. This exquisite print is not just a visual delight; it encapsulates the essence of Andersen's fairy tales while showcasing Robinson's artistic prowess. It stands as both an homage to classic literature and a testament to the enduring power of storytelling throughout history.
