Description
Finely bound and illustrated set of Malory's story of King Arthur and Knights of the Round Table.
Le Morte D’Arthur written by Thomas Malory in the fifteenth century and first printed by William Caxton in 1485, is widely considered the most famous version of all the Arthurian legends. The first Medici Society edition was published by the Riccardi Press in two volumes in 1911 and featured 36 colored plates from paintings by William Russell Flint. This is the second edition published in 1923. Sir William Russell Flint’s illustrative interpretation of Malory's work is masterful and depicts seminal moments and characters within the Arthurian tale including: Uther Pendragon; Morgan le Fay; Merlin; King Arthur; Guinevere; Sir Lancelot; the Lady of the Lake; Sir Uwain; Sir Pelleas; Sir Gareth (Beaumains); Tristram; La Beale Isoud; King Meliodas; Tramtrist; Segwarides; King Mark; Sir Bors; Sir Percivale; and Galahad.
