The Three Mulla-Mulgars (1919)

Illustrated by Dorothy Lathrop

To the left, we show a copy of The Three Mulla-Mulgars,

as illustrated by Dorothy Lathrop and published by

Alfred a Knopf Inc. (New York) in 1919.

This example retains the original decoratively gold-stamped

turquoise cloth cover.

On the right, we show the decorated

Title Page to The Three Mulla-Mulgars.

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 - on 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 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.
