Scenes from the Life of Joan of Arc

 

Illustrations by Kay Nielsen

 

 

The attribution for these powerful images to a suite designed for an unpublished version of The Monk of Fife is drawn from

the references appearing in Christmas editions of The Illustrated London News.

 

Within the plate, the images are signed by Kay Nielsen and dated 1914. Accompanying the title for two of the images, there

is a relevant quote from Lang's The Monk of Fife. Each of the images is presented in an integrated mille fleur border in the

manner adopted by Nielsen some ten years later for his illustrations to Fairy Tales by Hans Andersen.

When presented on Greeting Cards, these images are prepared as tipped-on 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 with an accompanying envelope. The rear of each

card carries information about Kay Nielsen, 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.

 

Our large format reproduction prints are produced with a process utilising archival quality materials to ensure may

years of enjoyment. In addition, each these large format print is also accompanied by information about Kay Nielsen,

this suite and the profiled illustration.
