Couldn't resist ... this piece is from the short story "The Gown of Cobweb Lace" from Peg Maltby's Peg's Fairy Book. Yes, we know it's fairy rather than mermaid artwork but it's too delightful for words and we thought you wouldn't mind us getting off theme once in a while.
I had the original Peg maltbys book As a child. Took copies of some of the prints for my granddaughter to have framed and a set for myself. The colours were spectacular. The reprint was a very sad copy. Thank you for posting this. Good memories
