Illustration by Elenore Abbott in Wild Swans by Hans Christian Andersen.
Illustration by Anton Lomaev from from The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen.
The Fairy dropped her shimmering garment, drew back the branches, and a moment after was hidden within their depths.
An illustration by Edmund Dulac for the fairy-tale, The Garden of Paradise. This is probably my favourite Dulac illustration - the ‘shimmering garment’ is so beautifully executed, it’s breath-taking.
