Illustrator: Helen Stratton (British, active 1892–1924)
Hans Christian Andersen – The Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen
Published by George Newnes, 1899
Illustration for "The Red Shoes"
Image area 4.5 X 3 inches on larger illustration board

A deft little pen and ink piece that spent about 117 years in the UK prior to my purchase of it. Ms. Stratton did over 400 illustrations for this volume of fairy tales. I have never seen another original piece by her and was glad to get this one!

Frank, thank you for sharing this beautiful piece of art. The lines are incredible. The flow and detail to the hair is incredible. The thatch roof is amazing. All of the different techniques used to make the trees, grass, hair, and building stand out is fantastic. Congrats on finding this and adding it to your collection.
