Lest a nightmare should come to the fairies…
1920
Imagine a world where dandelions are towering trees and fairies dance under a giant moon. In this 1920 illustration by Dugald Stewart Walker, two tiny, green figures hold hands on a hill, seemingly protecting the flora from a 'nightmare' mentioned in the whimsical caption below. The piece captures the magical, stylized aesthetic of the Art Nouveau movement, blending nature and fantasy with flat colors and elegant lines. It feels like a page straight out of a forgotten, enchanted storybook where even the insects are part of the drama.
