'Hey! Come hither, And stop me this cranny!"
1910
Arthur Rackham brings a moody, mythological scene to life here, likely from his famous 1910 illustrations for Wagner's *Ring Cycle*. A ghostly woman in flowing white robes emerges from a jagged rocky crevice, her gaze fixed on two massive, dark ravens circling ominously in the stormy sky above. Rackham was a master of the 'Golden Age of Illustration,' known for his eerie, atmospheric drawings that made fairy tales and myths feel both beautiful and slightly terrifying. The ravens are a classic nod to Norse mythology, likely representing Hugin and Munin, the companions of the god Wotan.
