Fairy Tales p.198, Andersen, Dugald Stewart Walker, 1914 For Sale

Illustrated text page — black and white. Original page from Fairy Tales from Hans Christian Andersen, illustrated by Dugald Stewart Walker, Doubleday, Page & Company, New York, 1914. An illustrated text page (page 198) from Andersen's Fairy Tales, featuring a charming embedded vignette of two ethereal women dancing beneath enormous flowering mushrooms in a magical clearing — their forms barely more than light and movement. A wonderful example of Walker's gift for decorative storytelling within the page.
