The mermaid in many ways embodies the mystery and enchantment of the sea. Portrayals of mermaids may have been influenced by the story of the Sirens from Greek mythology, and for centuries this half woman , half fish creature is reported to have beguiled sea farers and lured them to a watery grave.
The image for this design is a simplified version of a drawing by Robert Anning Bell (1863-1933), a notable contributor to the Arts and Crafts movement. The illustration was completed for an edition of Shakespeare's The Tempest published in 1901.
