1917 King Arthur 1^ed Lancelot Knights Round Table Rackham ART Morte Mallory

“We shall now seek that which we shall not find”  

― Thomas Malory

In 1485, “Le Morte Darther” or, “The Death of Arthur” was first published – the first time the traditional tales of King Arthur, Guinevere, Lancelot, Merlin, and the Knights of the Round Table finally was available to be read, instead of just told as a mythical story. It is, without equal, the best-known work of Arthurian literature and is a principal source for many plays, operas, and modern stories.

This fine 1917 printing by Alfred Pollard is filled with the art of the famous Arthur Rackham. An extremely desirable example of famous English folklore!
