This Edwardian first edition print by Warwick Goble originates from Japanese Fairy Tales and dates to 1910. The illustration depicts a figure in a small boat upon a lake, surrounded by detailed irises and dragonflies, with Mount Fuji visible in the background and a black lacquer frame enclosing the paper artwork. Four conservation mounts with double stepped corners surround the central illustration, complemented by muted blue, yellow, and green tones within the ink and watercolour scene. Measuring 42 cm wide, 37 cm high, and 2 cm deep, this framed illustration is suited for display on a narrow wall space within a gentleman's library, hallway, or study. The paper print provides a decorative landscape view that fits well into traditional interior settings, bringing classic illustrative art into a contemporary home.

FAQs

During the Golden Age of Illustration in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, publishers produced deluxe illustrated gift books featuring full-colour plates by prominent artists to satisfy growing consumer demand.

Illustrations from this era were typically printed on heavy paper stock using four-colour process lithography or trichromatic letterpress printing to reproduce original watercolour paintings.

Original plates often feature distinct border lines, publisher captions, period-appropriate paper age without uniform artificial distressing, and reverse sides that are either blank or contain printed text matching the publication.

These smaller framed prints work well when arranged in vertical pairs, integrated into a gallery wall, or displayed individually in narrow architectural spaces such as hallways and alcoves.

To prevent fading and foxing, display paper artwork away from direct sunlight, use conservation-grade acid-free mounts, and house the print behind UV-filtering glass.
