The Dream Pedlar - I m beginning to enjoy myself
I m beginning to enjoy myself - illustration in The Dream Pedlar by Lady Margaret Sackville. Florence Mary Anderson / Molly MacArthur (1893-1972) had two distinct styles of illustration. From the middle of the 1920s, she moved on from earlier highly-decorative fairy art (as shown here) to produce beautiful monotone woodcuts in a distinctly oriental style. This artwork (as seen here) was produced under the name Molly MacArthur, or F.M. MacArthur. Date: 1914

EDITORS COMMENTS
is an enchanting illustration taken from Lady Margaret Sackville's book of the same name, created by the talented artist Florence Mary Anderson, working under the name Molly MacArthur. This piece, dated 1914, showcases Anderson's earlier, highly-decorative fairy art style. In the illustration, a dreamy scene unfolds as a lady, dressed in elegant, flowing robes, sits on a bed of soft, colorful flowers. She gazes up at a dream pedlar, who offers her an array of intriguing wares from his basket. The pedlar's face is obscured, leaving the viewer to wonder about his identity and intentions. The lady's expression is one of curiosity and delight, as she reaches out to take one of the offered objects. The rich, vibrant colors and intricate details in this illustration transport the viewer to a magical realm where dreams come to life. The delicate, ethereal quality of the artwork invites introspection and imagination, as one wonders about the nature of the dreams the lady will encounter and the adventures that await her. Anderson's ability to capture the essence of whimsy and wonder is evident in this illustration. This artwork is a testament to the power of the imagination and the enchanting world that lies within the realm of dreams. This illustration is a beautiful reminder of the importance of embracing the unknown and allowing ourselves to be carried away by the magic of our dreams. It invites us to explore the depths of our own imagination and to find joy in the unexpected twists and turns that life may bring. Lady Margaret Sackville's "The Dream Pedlar: I'm beginning to enjoy myself" is a timeless work of art that continues to captivate and inspire, inviting us to embrace the wonders of the dream world and the limitless possibilities that await us within.
