The Dream Pedlar - Blow in the Faces of the Stars
Blow in the Faces of the Stars - illustration in The Dream Pedlar by Lady Margaret Sackville. Florence Mary Anderson / Molly MacArthur (1893-1972) had two distinct styles of illustration. From the middle of the 1920s, she moved on from earlier highly-decorative fairy art (as shown here) to produce beautiful monotone woodcuts in a distinctly oriental style.

The Dream Pedlar - Blow in the Faces of the Stars
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an enchanting illustration from the book of the same name by Lady Margaret Sackville, created by the talented artist Florence Mary Anderson under her pseudonym Molly MacArthur. This artwork, dated 1914, showcases Anderson's earlier style of highly-decorative fairy art. Lady Margaret Sackville was a prolific writer, best known for her children's books and poetry. In "The Dream Pedlar," she weaves a magical tale of a pedlar who visits children in their dreams, granting them the power to fly and explore the night sky. This illustration depicts the dream pedlar blowing on the faces of the stars, as if awakening their light. Anderson's intricate and whimsical use of line and color brings the dream world to life, with delicate details in the stars, the moon, and the pedlar's robe. The ethereal quality of the illustration transports the viewer to a realm of imagination and wonder, making it a beloved piece from the early 1900s. Anderson's career as an illustrator spanned over several decades, and she is known for her two distinct styles. From the middle of the 1920s, she moved on from this highly-decorative fairy art to produce beautiful monotone woodcuts in a distinctly oriental style. This artwork, however, remains a testament to her early mastery of the fairy tale genre and her ability to bring magic to life through her illustrations. Overall, "The Dream Pedlar: Blow in the Faces of the Stars" is a timeless piece of art that continues to inspire and delight audiences of all ages, inviting us to dream and believe in the power of imagination.
