See the whole time I would just want the whale to come along and eat Ahab. LOL I would be more likely to dream of the whale.

An illustration to Christina Rossetti's poem 'Amor Mundi'
Love the Holmes illustrations already posted, Sidney Paget is one of my favorites.

Dark Muse, that painting is extraordinary. I love Christina Rossetti's poetry. I will have to get that one out and read it tonight. Who did the illustration?
hi higley, I love those two. I especially like the black and white ink drawing by Sidney Paget; I will have to look up more of his stuff. That almost has an Oscar Wilde attitude about it. I like the wolf one as well. I never heard of that artist; again, I will have to go exploring. Welcome to this thread and hope you can post more interesting illustrations.
oops I forgot to include that. It is Edward Robert Hughes
Then he is the same artist you just posted in the social group, correct? I really love his work. Nice stuff. Good find, Dark Muse!:thumbs_upQuote:

'The Nights of Strapola' which was translated into English by W.G.Waters in the 1890s. The original stories were published in Venice between 1550 - 1553 by Gian Francesco Strapola and were similar in similar in style to Boccaccio's 'Decameron'.

Dark Muse Great pictures. I like William Holman Hunt. As I was scrolling down your pictures, I especially liked the pen and ink drawing of the woman holding the orb. It reminded me of an Escher. I thought at first it was.
Dark Muse, I like this artist, too. Glad you posted these. I like the globe one.
I agree, Lynne, it does remind me a little of Escher's work. I particularly like that first one, DM; I love all the tiny details in it. I should try to find a larger copy so I can make out all of those and just what they may symbolise. I have never seen these before even though I do know Hunt's work and keep a large file on him offline.

I recognize two of the above illustrations from a one volume set my parents had. The last two that is. Read the trilogy several years back and was amzied how readable it was. For some reason I was convinced I'ld be bored silly. Judging a book by the Marlon Brando movie no doubt.
I love books with nautical themes, but some of them can be tedious in all their technical terminology, this book is amazingly easy to read for the kind of story it is, for even though I enjoy such sea fearing adventures, I find they often can get a bit dry in places, but this one truly is most engaging.
Haha yeah the last two are in my volume of the trilogy as well.
Although a bit to understand it, but I still prefer illustrations
The only one I know of is the one published by the Easton Press which is currently out of print and difficult to find in the used book market. The first volume of the Easton Press edition, Mutiny on the Bounty, is a reprint of the original published by The Limited Editions Club in the 40s. This one was bound in full leather, but it is hard to find where the leather is not chipped or flaking on the spine.
