The Story of King Arthur and his Knights illustrated by Howard Pyle

Howard Pyle (1853 - 1911) was an American illustrator, author, and teacher who produced many classic illustrated volumes, including fables, fairy tales and adventure stories.

He was particularly fond of the Middle Ages and wrote and illustrated several works set in medieval Europe and England. Among these are Otto of the Silver Hand (1888), The Story of King Arthur and his Knights (1903) and The Story of the Champions of the Round Table (1905). The wood-engraved illustrations for these works clearly reference Pre-Raphaelite illustrations of the 1860s from which Pyle would have had ample exposure, both through prints and illustrations, as well as first-hand in the Wilmington collection of his contemporary, Samuel BancrofT.
