In 1905 Rackham published Fairy Tales Old and New: A collection of Stories from Old Fairy Tales, compiling tales from Hans Christian Anderson, the Brothers Grimm and from Arthurian legend. Commenting on his work in 1904, when the present watercolour was executed, one critic wrote that Rackham was 'beyond dispute a master of his craft, and he occupies a position no one can be said to share with him' (Birmingham Post, 9 April 1904, quoted in J. Hamilton, op.cit., p. 67).
