"Cormorants Presenting Fish to a Pelican in a Punt under an Umbrella" is a whimsical illustration from "The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife," a work by the 19th-century French-born British illustrator Ernest Henry Griset. Known for his humorous and often anthropomorphic depictions of animals, Griset's illustration captures a moment of fantasy where cormorants, depicted with human-like characteristics, are shown offering fish to a pelican seated in a punt, a flat-bottomed boat, shaded by an umbrella. This scene is part of a larger collection of illustrations that Griset created for the book, which was published in the late 1800s.

The artwork reflects Griset's unique style, which often blended elements of the absurd with detailed naturalistic renderings of animals. His work was characterized by a playful approach to subject matter, frequently drawing upon fables, folklore, and the artist's own imagination to create engaging scenes that appealed to both children and adults. "Cormorants Presenting Fish to a Pelican in a Punt under an Umbrella" exemplifies Griset's skill in creating narrative illustrations that tell a story without the need for words.

Ernest Henry Griset's contributions to the field of illustration during the Victorian era were significant, and his work was widely appreciated for its originality and wit. While "The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife" is not as well-known as some of his other works, this particular illustration is a testament to Griset's enduring legacy as an illustrator who could infuse the ordinary with a sense of enchantment and humor.
