Peeps into Fairland (1924)
Written and illustrated by Horace Knowles
|
 |
To the left, we show a rare copy of Peeps into
Fairyland -
illustrated by Horace Knowles and published by
Thornton Butterworth Ltd (London) in 1924. Printing
was undertaken by Stoddart & Malcolm (Edinburgh).
This example retains the original decoratively
gilt-stamped gold
cloth cover.
On the right, we show the
wonderful
decorated Title Page designed by
Knowles.

Peeps into Fairyland (1924) marked a progression
for Horace Knowles as it was the first book that he both
authored and illustrated. It continued the tradition
established with his earlier collaborative work and is
beautifully illustrated with colour and monotone
images.

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

examples of the art of Horace Knowles.
