| Note | Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's tale, The Little Mermaid. The ending in particular suggests both the sorrow that impends upon love and loss, as well as the possibilities of a life of freedom beyond the emotional struggle. The art by acclaimed Gond artist Bhajju Shyam is delicate, evocative, and magical, contrasting the worlds of land and ocean and the strange inner life of the mermaid and her sisters.
Letterpressed on tea-stained handmade paper, this is a truly handsome numbered collector’s edition. |
