A little bit of illustration porn to brighten your Friday! Kay Nielsen is one of my favorite Golden Age illustrators (you might know him from his work on the “Night on Bald Mountain” section of Fantasia), and there’s a gorgeous new edition of his version of East of the Sun, West of the Moonout now.
If you like these, I highly recommend digging up his The Twelve Dancing Princesses, which will curl your toes with its exquisite … exquisiteness? I dunno. Kay Nielsen’s pretty pictures make me not word so good.
