Arthur and His Knights (1920)

Illustrated by Thomas Mackenzie

On the left, we show a rare copy of Chaundler's Arthur and His Knights - as illustrated by Thomas Mackenzie - produced by Nisbet & Co. Ltd. (London) in, or about, 1920.   This example retains the original decorative stamped and coloured olive cover.               To the right, we show the Title Page.

Presenting Chaundler's own version of the Arthurian legend, this tale opens with an introduction to Merlin and proceeds

through a tale that would be familiar to many: Arthur is introduced to Excalibur and founds his Court around The Round

Table; Merlin passes and Morgan le Fay begins her influence; Quests - including that for The Holy Grail - are described

involving Lancelot, Sir Kay, Gareth, Sir Tristram and Sir Galahad; the exile of Queen Guinevere; and the passing of

King Arthur.

Mackenzie's contributions in both colour and monotone are magnificent. His selection and presentation of subject is

inspired and the rendering of colour superbly in a mixture of subtle and rich tones is indicative of his milieu.

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