I just stumbled upon these really really amazing pieces of art by John Bauer, and I wanted to share them with you. They're from "Among Gnomes and Trolls" which is a Swedish annual publication about traditional folklore and fairytales. Most of these are from 1913-1915, the most famous being the one of Princess Tuvstarr sitting by the pool from "The story of Skutt the moose and little Princess Tuvstarr". Does anyone know this story or any of the other ones? I can't find them anywhere, in english at least. Anyway, here they are, enjoy!
