A propos de cet article

Bright gilt cover design features finely detailed bugler knight on regaled horseback; gilt spine design features stylized royal lion w/gilt bands. Frontispiece color plate by Rackham: "How Arthur drew his sword Excalibur for the first time". Pages very good, clean; moderate toning at endpapers. Bind good, square; hinges intact. Feature sixteen color plates in brilliant subdued hues and seven in black & white by Arthur Rackham. Each color plate features fine tissue guard w/caption. Additional seven b&w full-page designs, partial-page imagery, headers, tailpieces, symbology and decoration throughout. Attractive, near very good first edition. Sir Thomas Malory (1405 - 1471) collected all the ancient tales of the mythical Arthur and published them under the title Le Morte D'Arthur. The characters are familiar: King Arthur and the Round Table, Lancelot and Guinevere, Tristan and Isolde, here in the definitive account of the Arthurian legends. The vigorous, eloquent epic tale of valor is noted for having been written in the best English prose of the Fifteenth Century. Includes 5-page detailed glossary. Printed by R. & R. Clarke, Limited, Edinburgh. 509 pages. Insured post. The Romance of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table hails from Malory's classic text, Morte D'Arthur; neatly told here by Alfred W. Pollard. Le Morte d'Arthur by Sir Thomas Malory compiled mythical tales of the legendary King Arthur, Guinevere, Lancelot, and the Knights. First published in 1485 and now one of the best-known works of Arthurian literature; masterfully edited by Alfred Pollard (1859 - 1944). In his own words, he "tried to clear away some of the underwoods that the great trees may be better seen, and though I know that I have cleared away some small timber that is fine stuff in itself, if the great trees stand out the better, the experiment may be forgiven." This edition contains a series of dazzling color plates and b&w illustrations - by a master of the craft; Arthur Rackham (1867-1939). One of the most celebrated painters of the British Golden Age of Illustration (from 1850 until the First World War), Rackham's artistry is simply unparalleled. Rackham developed a unique style, combining haunting humor with dream-like romance. Presented alongside the text, his illustrations further elucidate the wonderful ballads of yesteryear. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" Tall.…
