The Blue Lagoon (1910)

Illustrated by Willy Pogány

Stackpoole's classic tale of shipwreck on a tropical island and blooming adolescent love was illustrated in lovely

fashion by Pogány during possibly the most productive period of his life - a time that included the commissions

for Faust, Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám, Tannhäuser, Lohengrin and Parsifal.

1st Edition copies of The Blue Lagoon - as illustrated by Pogány - are rare and highly valued by collectors and

enthusiasts alike.

Our Greeting Cards and Reproduction Prints

For connoisseurs of Pogány's work, we have prepared sets of 13 Greeting Cards displaying each of his colour images for The Blue Lagoon and on the left, we show an example of how these Greeting Cards appear.             Code: WP BL CS(13) Price: US$65.00

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, with the image presented on Ivory card stock with an accompanying envelope. On the rear of each card

we also present some information about Willy Pogány and the profiled illustration. We have left the interior of the

cards blank so that you may write your own personal message.

Each of our large format reproductions are prepared with archival quality materials and processes to ensure many

years of enjoyment. In addition, our reproductions are accompanied by explanatory material relating to Willy Pogány

and the profiled illustration.

The colour illustrations

Where the Slush Lamp burns The Blue Lagoon	Where the Slush Lamp burns Mr Button finished his tune	Shadows in the Moonlight "Look at our shadows!" cried Dick	The Lake of Azure On either side lay a great sweep of waving blue water  (Frontispiece)
The Devil's Cask They began to roll it downhill	The Garland of Flowers Dick and Emmeline stole up to him	Under the Artu Tree The bird flew into the air, lit on her forefinger, and balanced itself	What beauty concealed "My spear!" shouted Dick
Love steps in He suddenly and fiercely clasped her in his arms	Vanishing of Emmaline She held something in her arms	Keeper of the Lagoon She seized the remaining scull	Captain Fountain "When did you find them?" asked Lestrange
Due South The little dinghy made a mournful picture as she floated
