The princess and the goblin
The Princess and the Goblin is a 1920 fairy tale by George MacDonald, illustrated by Jessie Willcox Smith and published in Philadelphia by D. McKay. The four pictures are full-colour plates showing a boy with a torch in a dark tunnel, goblins swarming around him, a boy and princess at a tall wooden door, and a knight in armour beside a white horse. Their warm, glowing palette of firelight, deep shadow and rich costume offers designers a model for dramatic, storybook lighting and period dress.
