Bernard Sleigh - Map Of Fairyland

[pete9012S]

The Anciente Mappe of Fairyland “mashes up dozens of stories to make a comprehensive geography of make-believe,” writes Slate’s Rebecca Onion: “Rapunzel’s tower, cheek by jowl with Belle’s palace from ‘Beauty and the Beast’; Humpty Dumpty on a roof, overlooking Red Riding Hood’s house; Ulysses’ ship, sailing past Goblin Land.” It’s a “Where’s Waldo of Fantasy Easter Eggs,” by an English landscape painter “who wrote extensively about fairies in England.” Sleigh was not only a fantasist, he was also a true believer.

That's lovely, Pete.

Beautiful although I wish I could zoom in on it as the detail is hard to see for me.

You should be able to zoom in very closely using the second link in my post John.

(use the slider, or scroll with your mouse)

Ah Ok I can do it by twiddling the knob on the mouse. When I tried the double click method it did noting. I shall enjoy exploring Fairyland now.
