The Garden of Paradise, Andersen, Dugald Stewart Walker, 1914 For Sale

Black and white illustration. Original page from Fairy Tales from Hans Christian Andersen, illustrated by Dugald Stewart Walker, Doubleday, Page & Company, New York, 1914. An illustration of extraordinary intricacy and stillness. Deep within the Garden of Paradise, a fairy sleeps — surrounded by an almost impenetrable density of flowers, birds, and tangled vines. The image is a garden within a garden, the sleeping figure barely visible within its enchanted heart. Caption: \'There she lay asleep already, beautiful as only the Fairy in the Garden of Paradise can be.\'
