Published in 1919 by Alfred A Knopf Inc.
(New York), The Three Mulla-Mulgars is a fantasy tale authored by
Walter de la Mare set in monkey society (the
presentation of which is conspicuously anamorphic in nature) -
and this was the 1st Edition to carry illustrations
from Lathrop.
The Three Mulla-Mulgars was the first
illustrated book to include a comprehensive suite of colour and
monotone images exclusively from Lathrop (who was later to become the
inaugural recipient of the
Caldecott Medal) and the illustrations are gorgeous.

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 or an
individual Greeting Card from this suite of images, simply
click on the
illustration and you will be taken to a new screen where you may select from a
variety of sizing
options and organise payment through our Shopping Cart secured
with PayPal. Of course, should you require a
customised preparation, we welcome
your contact through
ThePeople@SpiritoftheAges.com.
In the meantime, enjoy perusing these wonderful images
from Dorothy Lathrop.

skin

What is it, brother?
Why do you
crouch and stare?

silver-haired Meermuts of
Mulgar-Meerez, guarding the
enchanted
orchards of Tishnar

They feasted on fruits they
never before had tasted
nor knew to grow on Earth

Nod was never left

With sticks and staves and
flaring torches they turned
on the fierce birds that came
sweeping and swirling out of
the dark |
