Katharine Cameron ~ 1907 Stories of King Arthur's Knights Told to the Children Adapted by Mary MacGregor Book Cover |
Katherine Cameron (1874-1965), a member of the Glasgow School, illustrated several books in the Told to the Children series, edited in the early 1900's by Louey Chisholm, and published in London by T. C. & E. C. Jack. She was also a watercolor artist and an accomplished etcher with a love for painting landscapes and flowers. I enjoy the romantic nature of her work, her choice of colors, and the understated drama of her compositions.
In this book, her frontispiece and The Death of King Arthur are her most realistic illustrations. My favorites are from the stories of Geraint and Enid, Lancelot and Elaine, Pelleas and Ettarde, and Sir Galahad. Click the internet archive's link to Project Gutenberg to view the eight illustrations and to read the Stories of King Arthur's Knights Told to the Children, adapted from Sir Thomas Malory by Mary MacGregor.
