An illustration print from an excerpt of Christina Rossetti's 'Goblin Market' poem. It illustrates the clipping of Laura's golden hair to pay the evil goblins for their tempting fruits. The original illustration was one of a series of nine images measuring 8"x8" painted on a block of wood. This reproduction print also measures 8"x8" (no border), is printed on FujiFilm Crystal Archive photographic paper and is part of an unsigned, open edition. "Good folk, I have no coin; To take were to purloin: I have no copper in my purse, I have no silver either, And all my gold is on the furze That shakes in windy weather Above the rusty heather." "You have much gold upon your head," They answer'd all together: "Buy from us with a golden curl." She clipp'd a precious golden lock, She dropp'd a tear more rare than pearl, Then suck'd their fruit globes fair or red: Sweeter than honey from the rock, Stronger than man-rejoicing wine, Clearer than water flow'd that juice; She never tasted such before, How should it cloy with length of use?
