        "description": "The battle depicted here between flying and land animals is from the fairy tale \u201cThe Wren and the Bear.\u201d The bear insults the wren, the king of the birds, leading to a war. Most of Arthur Rackham\u2019s best-known illustrations combine intricate line work with delicate coloring. However, he also produced some silhouette illustrations like this one, created for a luxury edition of <em>Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm</em>. The illustration won a gold medal at the 1906 Milan International Exhibition, where it was exhibited as <em>The Battle between the Air and the Earth</em>.",
