Arthur Rackham Midsummer Nights Dream Fairy Song 2 1920 FREE Shipping

Antique print - Beautiful Fairies and Cobwebs - The Fairies Song (2) 1920 Arthur Rackham
Exceptionally beautiful print and some of Arthur Rackham's best work. A Midsummer Night's Dream, Shakespeare's magical tale of love and fairies can have no better illustrator. From a scarce, early edition of the tale.

A beautiful line illustration showing fairies among the roses in the bough of a bramble tree. Beautiful spiders' webs (or cobwebs) adorn the bottom branches. The second verse to the fairies' lullaby to protect Titania, Queen of the Fairies, from harm:

'Weaving spiders come not here;
Hence, you long-legg’d spinners, hence!
Beetles black, approach not near;
Worm nor snail, do no offence.
Philomel, with melody,
Sing in our sweet lullaby
Lulla, lulla, lullaby; lulla, lulla, lullaby:
Never harm,
Nor spell, nor charm,
Come our lovely lady nigh;
So, good night, with lullaby.

Very Good - Very Slight Marking
There is some very slight spotting to the print and some slight shadowing from the text on the reverse This is hardly noticeable and does not detract from the beauty of the print.

A Note on condition:
Minor imperfections are to be expected from antique prints due to their age and in many cases this does not affect the appearance of the print. Any blemishes that are noteworthy are described and shown in the picture where possible.
Colours will vary slightly depending on your monitor
Also Please Note: The watermark in the bottom right hand corner of the image does not appear on the print itself.
