Reviews
This book is sold at a great price, and it is a nice size ( 11 x 8) so the pictures are easily viewed. This is, of course, only a selection, but it is a fun selection of excellent pictures which can be studied for the method employed or just for the joy of looking at the illustrations that helped make Beardsley's Le Morte Darthur so famous. Five stars for the affordable price, the size, and the well printed selection of drawings. Please note they are all black and white.
