Isabella, or The Pot of Basil (1907)

 

 

 

To the left is shown the graphic designed by King for the cover to Keats' Isabella, or The Pot of Basil - as published cojointly by T N Foulis (London) and George W Jacobs and Company (Philadelphia) in 1907.  That illustration was also used at the introduction to Keats' poem.

 

It is noteworthy that the printing for both publishers was undertaken by Neill and Co. Ltd. of Edinburgh.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Isabella, or The Pot of Basil is the work of one of the leading poets from the English Romantic movements,

John Keats (1795-1821). Keats body of work had influence far beyond his short life, including on the subsequent

work of Alfred Tennyson and Pre-Raphaelite artists.

 

The illustrations by King are sublime and complement the poetry of Keats wonderfully.
