The King’s only daughter had been carried off by a Dragon 

Arthur Rackham was a prolific British illustrator best known for his work in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, often drawing on fantastical and mythical themes. This illustration depicts a dramatic scene from a fairy tale. A fearsome dragon, with its wings spread wide, has snatched a princess from a castle and soars through the air. The dragon's fearsome appearance and the princess's terrified expression add to the sense of danger in this illustration. Rackham’s meticulous detail and masterful use of light and shadow bring this story to life.
