Intended for Rackham's 1932 edition of Hans Andersen's Fairy Tales, illustrating "an old, old woman leaning on a crutch: she had on a big sun-hat, painted with the most lovely flowers" from the third story of "The Snow Queen" entitled "The Flower Garden of the Woman Who Knew Magic". The reverse of the board notes, in Rackham's hand, "Midsummer Night's Dream, Pictures by Arthur Rackham, MS by Graily Hewitt, No 14, From Arthur Rackham, 6 Primrose Hill Gardens, To the Director New York Public Library". This relates to the artist's commission from the Spencer Collection for a unique copy of Shakespeare's play which "Rackham designed, illustrated and oversaw in production in 1928 and 1929" (Hamilton, p. 136). The note is entirely unrelated to the present illustration. The third story in "The Snow Queen" tells of Gerda's search for Kay. When she encounters a river she finds "a little house with curious blue and red windows. It had a thatched roof, and in front two wooden soldiers, who presented arms to those who sailed past". The 1932 publication included only eight coloured plates. It was one of Rackham's first longer books published with Harrap, and reflected a change in publishing conditions and the "market pattern" in that there were fewer illustrations than in Rackham's books of previous decades. The old woman (who is "not a wicked witch", but one who practises "a little magic for her own amusement") does appear in the published book, together with Gilda, as a black and white illustration. Unpublished Rackham illustrations for his major books are not common. James Hamilton, Arthur Rackham, a life with illustration, 1990; Arthur Rackham, A Midsummer Night's Dream, 1977.

Published within Rackham's illustrated edition of Hans Andersen's Fairy-Tales in 1932, a work described by Hamilton as "ideal - even the classic - late Rackham". This drawing was originally reproduced on page 125 as a black and white drawing for "The Steadfast Tin Soldier". The publishers of the book sent Rackham and his wife to Denmark for a week in November 1931 "to collect Danish atmosphere for the book", as stated by Hamilton. In a letter Rackham wrote that "Copenhagen is a very beautiful city. Lots of water, ships, fishing boats, quays - everywhere. It is rather fatiguing to me. I have to talk so much and behave myself so well all the while taking notes and notes for dear life". Ink and watercolour drawings generally command higher prices than pen and ink drawings. Rackham, ever the commercial artist, frequently reworked his black and white drawings and, as in this example, occasionally added detail. The published version shows the steadfast tin soldier in a paper boat. The reworked illustration has indistinct lines of newsprint added to the boat made out of a piece of newspaper. James Hamilton, Arthur Rackham: a life with illustration, 1990, pp. 144-5. Original drawing (234 x 233 mm) on card, laid down on artist's board, ink and watercolour, signed ("ARackham") lower left, mounted, framed, and glazed (framed size 402 x 397 mm).…
