At least the full original captions were given.If you are a true Nielsen fan buy reprint editions; otherwise go to the internet; where most images are far better than you will find here.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Decent but not greatBy Sadpunk0The illustrations themselves are excellent. Unfortunately the quality of the printing and of the book itself leave something to be desired. Still; it is a nice work and worth the cost.7 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Leaves of a Book from ChildhoodBy F. S. LhoirAs a child I found Kay Nielsens illustratons by turns terrifying and exquisitely beautiful. His illustrations for "East of the Sun and West of the Moon" fell into the former category; as did several of those for "In Powder and Crinoline": the black-winged North Wind striding over a churning sea; and the ghastly periwigged phantoms casting distorted shadows on the wall as they toss dice for each others souls. Nielsens lyrical landscapes and lovely ladies with powdered wigs and crinoline skirts belong to the latter: the white marble grecian temple atop a cliff overlooking a pool; reflecting a marble moon bridge; and the twelve dancing princesses moving secretly through a forest of slim-trunked tall trees whose trailing leaves seem like cascades of pearls and emeralds. I especially liked Nielsens trees and recall trying to imitate them in my drawings. I also loved his star-spattered skies.As an adult; I can see why I found many of his illustrations threatening; and I can also see why I found so many of them enchanting. His stark decorative designs with their somber palette; and his angry male figures; which I can see now are ambiguously gendered; seemed like the stuff of nightmares. At the same time; his slender princesses with their elaborately patterned silks and satins seemed like the stuff of enchanted dreams.In either event; Kay Nielsens illustrations are unforgettable!
