Description

This striking poster reproduces the decorative cover of Alfred Tennyson's 'Idylls of the King,' published by R. H. Russell in New York, featuring an ornate sword entwined with a serpentine dragon set against a vivid orange shield, surrounded by intricate Celtic-inspired knotwork borders. The bold black linework and rich orange-on-cream palette reflect the Arts and Crafts and early Art Nouveau aesthetic of late 19th-century book decoration. On a wall, it reads as a dramatic, heraldic statement piece with deep literary and historical character.
