Pair of Illustrations for The Fairies by William Allingham (1824-1889) by this renowned artist who spent much of his life in Australia and New Zealand painting landscapes in oils. However, he also painted in watercolour and also worked on the first illustrated magazine in Australia.
"They Stole Little Brdget/For Seven Long Years/And When They Brought Her Down Again/Her Friends Were All Gone"
"They Took Her lightly Back Again/Between The Night And Morrow/They Thought That She Was Fast Asleep/But She was Dead With Sorrow"
An interesing example that fairy tales hold nothing back!
