The Boy's King Arthur (1917)

The Boy's King Arthur (1917) was based on a
work edited by Sidney Lanier in the late 19th Century - Lanier's work was, in
itself, based on Sir Thomas Malory's text - exploring
the Arthurian legend.
For his illustrated version of Arthurian tales, Wyeth
produced a wonderful suite of illustrations full of colour and detail that
ably capture the honour, romance and dramatic features
of the text.

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.

I am Sir Launcelot du Lake, King
Ban's son
of Benwick, and knight of the
Round Table
|
And lived by fruit and such as
he might get
|
It hung upon a thorn, and there
he blew
three deadly notes |
The lady Lyonesse ... had the
dwarf
in examination

"Oh, gentle knight,"
said la Belle Isoud,
"full woe am I of
thy departing"
|
They fought with him
on foot more
than three hours,
both before him
and behind him
|
King Mark slew the
noble knight
Sir Tristram as he
sat harping before
his lady la Belle
Isoud |
When Sir Percival
came nigh the brim, and
saw the water so
boisterous, he doubted
to overpass it |

Sir Mador's spear
broke all to pieces,
but the other's
spear held
|
He rode his way with
the queen
unto Joyous Gard |
Then the king ... ran
towards Sir Mordred,
crying, "Traitor,
now is thy death
day come"
|
Then Sir Launcelot
saw her visage, but
he wept not greatly,
but sighed
