The Little Green Road to Fairyland (1922)

Illustrated by Ida Rentoul Outhwaite

 

 

 

On the left, we show a rare copy of The Little Green Road to Fairyland -

as illustrated by Outwaite - and published by A & C Black Ltd (London)

in 1922. This example retains the original decorated cover with applied

monotone pastedown.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Little Green Road to Fairyland is an example of the wonderful outcome of collaboration between Outhwaite

and her sister, Annie Rentoul.

 

Outhwaite prepared a suite of colour and monotone illustrations (including marginalia) to accompany her sister's

literary work. That suite of illustrations included 8 colour illustrations and a further 8 major 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 your contact on any matter

through ThePeople@SpiritoftheAges.com.
