Fairy Art Of A. Duncan Carse..
Andreas Duncan Carse was born in 1876 to parents of Scottish and Swedish descent. Not much is known about his upbringing and life in general aside from the fact that he was an accomplished artist and illustrator whose work has been enjoyed by generations.
He provided the illustrations for Lucy M. Scott’s Dewdrops from Fairyland (1912), a collection of short stories originally entitled Entirely Unaided that was remarkably written by the author when she was just nine years old.
Carse also notably illustrated the 1912 addition of Hans Christian Andersen’s Fairy Tales, a collection of over 200 stories that has been translated into more than 125 language since it’s first publication. Despite being a prolific writer of plays, novels, travelogues, and poems, it was for the writing of this book that Andersen was most famous. It went through many editions over the years and, and is renowned for the variety of illustrators who have brought its stories to life over the years. Carse’s contributions to Fairy Tales arguably solidified his reputation as an accomplished illustrator of children’s books.
Carse is known to have exhibited his beautiful artwork at numerous events and locations, beginning with an exhibition at the Royal Academy in 1904. He exhibited under the auspices of the British Council at Biennale in 1912, and began displaying his work regularly at the Royal Academy between 1922 and 1938. the Fine Art Society, the London Salon and the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool are all other locations known to have played host to Carse’s work.
Besides canvases and the pages of children’s books, Carse’s work has adorned a variety of other surfaces. He designed paintings for the ceiling of the Detroit Athletic Club and, in 1933, his works Birds of the Old World and Birds of the New World were used by Cunard to decorate the dining rooms of its flagship liner, The Queen Mary.
Andreas Duncan Carse, father of the famous British explorer Duncan Carse, passed away in 1938.

The world as you know it - all that you see, taste, feel and touch, comprises only about 5% of all of the stuff of the universe. The other 95% is what we have considered "nothing" or the "firmament" or dark matter or the heavens or mystic Other Worlds. This 95% is multi-dimensional and consists of potential realities that may be perceived.
A single thought...a mere whisper, ...... barely upon a breeze that catches a spark... all is tinder before the firestorm... and yet.
ONLY that whisper
ONLY that thought
the world is forever changed beyond the fears and dreams of cardboard men.
Freedom and change starts within:
It is encouraged by truth and courage of people who love
Built by the respect of true beings standing as one before each other.
Lets us cross every man made borders
without fear stare into eyes and hearts of all our brothers and sisters: within our words without shouting,or force to hold each to our truths; and let us without fear freely share what works...
