Tales from the Enchanted Isles is a selection of then-modern fairytales - told in a traditional manner - written by Ethel Gate.

First published in 1926 with the accompanying suite of colour and monotone illustrations by Dorothy Lathrop, this is a

wonderful example of inspiring visual interpretation of fairytales.

 

Lathrop's illustrations are absolutely gorgeous.

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.

 

Hand-finishing is used to replicate the visual appearance of a tipped-on 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.
