Robin Hood (1917) was based on the classic
medieval tale of Robin Hood, his band of followers and their adventures whilst
opposing the new Norman authorities - as represented by
the Sheriff of Nottingham and his supporters.
For his illustrated version of this tale, Wyeth
produced a wonderful suite of illustrations full of colour and detail that are
truly inspirational.

When presented on Greeting Cards, these
images are prepared as tipped-in
plates - in homage to the hand-crafted approach
typical
of prestige illustrated publications produced in the early decades
of the 20th Century.
Hand-finishing is used to replicate the
visual appearance of a tipped-in plate and the images are presented
on Ivory card
stock (in the case of colour illustrations) or White
card stock (in the case of monotone illustrations) with an accompanying
envelope. We have left 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.
Of course, should you wish to
discuss some customised options, we welcome
your contact on any matter through
ThePeople@SpiritoftheAges.com.
In the meantime, enjoy perusing these wonderful images
from Wyeth.

with the Cook
