Illustration: Kay Nielsen



"Kay Nielsen was born in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1886. His first success as an illustrator came with the book we digitized for inclusion in our media database today... 'The Twelve Dancing Princesses'. Nielsen differed from his contemporaries, who were steeped in the European tradition, by following the lead of artists from the art nouveau movement like Aubrey Beardsley, as well as Persian and Asian art."

Förtrollande, känns som bandy.
Hela projektet/sidan ASIFA verkar lovande, dit kommer jag att återvända om inte tidigare så iaf när bandysäsongen har smält bort.
