Description: Set of 21 Greeting Cards(C6 with envelopes) Illustrations by Eleanor Fortescue Brickdale forIdylls of the King (1912) Reproduced from Museum-grade original printson Acid-free printing stock with Archive-quality inks Perfect for many occasions, this set includes 21 Greeting Cards (C6 + Envelopes) with quality reproductions of illustrations by Eleanor Fortescue Brickdale published in Idylls of the King (1912). As shown in the attached image, the designs are set on the front of the cards in the manner of tipped-on plates (the example shown here is 'Yniol's rusted arms were on his princely person, but thro' these Prince-like his bearing shone' from 'Enid' matched with a tipped-on print showing the 1912 Title Page on the left interior of the card). The right interior of the cards, the rears and the envelopes are blank. Idylls of the King is a cycle of 12 narrative poems by the English Poet Laureate, Lord Tennyson, that retells the legendary rise and fall of King Arthur and his Kingdom. In the variant interpreted illustratively by Fortescue Brickdale, the tale is arranged in the form first published in 1859, including the poems 'Enid', 'Vivien', 'Elaine' and 'Guinevere'. The illustrations contributed by Fortescue Brickdale to the version published in 1912 are decorated in wonderful fashion, as would be expected given her Pre-Raphaelite influences and the themes explored by Tennyson. Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale (1871-1945) was an English artists associated with the Golden Age of Illustration. She was born into a family of means and took her education in art at the Royal Academy school. It was while attending the Royal Academy that she met Byam Shaw - a prominent artist - whom was not only a close friend, but also an artistic influence.
