One of 300 copies quarto size 51 pp. The Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily Märchen or Das Märchen is a fairy tale by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 1749-1832 first published in 1795 in Friedrich Schiller's magazine "Die Horen" The Horae. It concludes Goethe's novella rondo "Conversations of German Emigrants" 1795 and is regarded as the founding example of the genre of "Kunstmärchen" or artistic fairy tale. The action of the story and its characters are continually faced with the dilemma of crossing a river or temporarily bridging it. The story acts as a metaphor or parable for the divide between the internal and external world and the aspirations of man to permanently bridge the two. <br/><br/>This was the first book illustrated by Ann Arnold and the last time she worked in linoleum.

1802WRCAM32884London: I.R. Smith 1802. Handcolored mezzotint 17 1/2 x 19 inches. Small tear in lower margin slightly affecting image and caption. Minor edge wear and dust soiling. Mounted on heavy card. Fair only. Archivally matted protected with mylar sheet. Later issue after the first of 1789. A striking mezzotint engraved by J.R. Smith after a 1785 painting by Joseph Wright showing an Indian woman looking out over a serene ocean while her deceased husband's tomahawk war club and quiver hang above her on a dead tree. In the background a steaming volcano and thunderclouds complete the pastoral scene. When the painting was first exhibited in 1785 this description accompanied it: <br> <br> "This picture is founded on the custom which prevails among the savage tribes of America where the widow of an eminent warrior is used to sit the whole day during the first moon after his death under a rude kind of trophy formed by a tree lopped and painted; on which the weapons and martial habiliments of the dead are suspended. She remains in this situation without shelter and perseveres in her mournful duty at the hazard of her own life from the inclemencies of the weather." <br> <br> Though Wright never travelled to America he depended heavily on James Adair's HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN INDIANS. 1775 for anthropological information for this painting. The original remains at the Derby Museum and Art Gallery. Quite rare. Not on OCLC. I.R. Smith unknown books
