A Haunting Gathering at Goblin Market by Pauline Baynes Description: This illustration by Pauline Baynes, created in 1951, brings to life the chilling scene from Christina Rossetti's beloved poem, "Goblin Market." The image transports us to an enchanted yet frightening woodland clearing where a terrifying crowd of goblins, their faces twisted with desire, gather around a young girl. The goblins, with their gnarled limbs and sharp teeth, offer the girl an array of ripe, juicy fruit in exchange for a lock of her golden hair. The historical context of this illustration is rooted in the Victorian era, with its intricate details and rich colors evoking a sense of nostalgia and wonder. The woodland setting is both beautiful and spooky, with the trees reaching high into the sky, their branches intertwining to form a canopy over the scene. The goblins, with their wild, unkempt appearance and haunting eyes, seem to have stepped straight out of a nightmare. The girl in the illustration looks scared yet entranced, her hands shielding her long, golden locks as she hesitates, torn between the allure of the fruit and the fear of the goblins. The goblins, sensing her indecision, press in closer, their faces growing more insistent. The tension between temptation and fear is palpable, making this illustration a true masterpiece of fantasy and horror. Pauline Baynes' illustration of "Goblin Market" is a testament to her extraordinary talent for bringing poetry to life through her art. The image is a must-have for any collector of historical, fantasy, or spooky illustrations and is a beautiful addition to any home or office decor.
