Fair Helena

 

"Fair Helena, who more engilds the night
Than all yon fiery oes and eyes of light..."

This illustration is by Arthur Rackham (1867-1939) from A Midsummer Night's Dream (1908) by William Shakespeare. This is a reproduction on a notecard from the Green Tiger Press (circa 1980).

Arthur Rackham "Woman with Lions"

 

This image was drawn by Arthur Rackham for a 1909 edition of the Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm. It is entitled "She went away accompanied by the Lions". Wouldn't you love to prance around in that lovely gown?
