Description

This ornate 1898 title page design for Alfred Lord Tennyson's 'Idylls of the King' features elaborate Celtic knotwork borders in vivid red and black, intertwined with serpentine dragon or bird motifs framing the bold typography. The design radiates the rich, decorative sensibility of late Victorian bookmaking and early Art Nouveau illustration, with a medieval Arthurian mood befitting tales of Vivien, Elaine, Enid, and Guinevere. On a wall, it reads as a striking piece of literary and decorative history — bold, symmetrical, and richly detailed.
