This illustration was reproduced as one of eight colour plates in J. M. Dent's 1949 edition of George MacDonald's The Princess and the Goblin. It shows Princess Irene ascending the staircase to her great-great-grandmother in chapter XI. Charles Folkard (1878-1963) attracted attention with his illustrations for The Swiss Family Robinson (1910). He went on to illustrate books for A. & C. Black, including Grimm's Fairy Tales, Aesop's Fables, The Arabian Nights, and Songs from Alice in Wonderland. In 1915 he created the Daily Mail cartoon strip "Teddy Tail".
