Description

This vintage lithograph poster advertises 'The History of Over Sea' by William Morris, featuring a richly detailed illustration of a robed medieval woman standing over a kneeling knight in a forest setting, with decorative text panels above and below. Illustrated and decorated by Louis Rhead and published by R. H. Russell in New York, the artwork reflects the Arts and Crafts movement's love of medieval romance, intricate linework, and earthy tonal palettes. On a wall it reads as a sophisticated literary artifact with a storybook gravitas suited to book lovers and vintage art collectors.
