On the left, we show Folk Tales of Flanders
(1918)- as illustrated by
de Bosschère and co-published by William Heinemann (London)
and
Dodd, Mead & Company (New York). This example retains the
original blind- and
gold-stamped dark green cloth cover.
It is
noteworthy that the Heinemann variant was entitled
Beast and
Men -
Folk Tales Collection in Flanders,
whilst the Dodd, Mead & Company
version carried the title Falk
Tales of Flanders. Printing for both variants
was
undertaken at The Complete Press (London).
To the right, we show the
illustrated
Title Page prepared by de
Bosschère.

When presented on Greeting Cards, these
images are prepared as tipped-in
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 Ivory card stock
(in the case of colour images) and White card stock
(in the case of
monotone images) with an
accompanying envelope. The rear of each card carries information
about
Jean de Bosschère, 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 Jean de Bosschère, this suite and the profiled
illustration.
