Illustrated by René Bull

 

 

 

On the left, we show a rare copy of A Garland of Rose's - an anthology from the collected poems of Rose Fyleman - with colour and monotone illustrations by René Bull.

 

This 1st Edition was published by Methuen & Co. Ltd (London) in 1928, with printing undertaken by William Brendon and Son Ltd (Plymouth) and this example retains the original gold-stamped blue cloth cover.

A Garland of Rose's published by Methuen & Co. Ltd (London) in 1928 is a collection of the poems of Rose Fyleman -

an English poet and writer known for her works focused on the theme of the fairy folk. Many of the works in the

anthology were drawn from her works that had previously been published in Punch.

 

Bull's illustrations for A Garland of Rose's are predominantly in monotone (although the frontispiece is in colour) and

are simply wonderful complements to the whimsical work of Fyleman.

When presented on Greeting Cards, these images are prepared as tipped-on plates - in hommage to the hand-crafted

approach typical of prestige illustrated publications produced in the early decades of the 20th Century. Each card is

hand-finished and the images are presented on White card stock with an accompanying envelope. The rear of each

card carries information about René Bull, this wonderful suite and the profiled illustration - we have left the interior

of the cards blank so that you may write your own personal message.

 

Should you wish to order a Reproduction Print of one or more of these images, we have provided some options below.

Each of these large format prints is also accompanied by information about René Bull, this suite and the profiled

illustration.
