About This Design

Hansel and Gretel Fairy Tale Magnet

Hansel and Gretel Fairy Tale Magnet

Kay Nielsen was a Danish artist who received his first commission to illustrate a fairy tale book called "In Powder and Crinoline, Fairy Tales Retold" by Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch in 1913. He was born into an artistic family. He had three outside influences that were evident in his art style. The first was an oriental influence. His grandfather always brought art and sculptures back home from China when he was a child. Aubrey Beardsley was his second influence in artistic style. Many of Beardsley's characteristics are in Nielsen's work, especially his floral style and his elongated figures which were evident in his book illustrations. The Art Nouveau movement also was an influence in his work. It was said he was either influenced by it or was a contributor to it... or maybe both. This particular illustration came from a book called "Hansel and Gretel and Other Stories by the Brother's Grimm" published in 1925. "They saw that the cottage was made of bread and cakes".

My work uses Velcro spots and laminated paper for the "clean/dirty" sign and has to replace it every few weeks (people resist using it as the Velcro dots peal off). I saw these and instantly purchased them for work AND our home dish drawers. I am really impressed by the quality and being raised slightly means they are easy to grab and turn over. Visual Such a great solution and highly recommended! The printing is great - I like the colourway and the font.

I think that besides the cute picture on the magnet, this product is strong, sticks well to surfaces, and is a great addition to any household. The image is perfect, and looks just like the character in the book.
