This Edwardian art print is a first edition book illustration by Warwick Goble from Japanese Fairy Tales, dated 1910. The paper artwork depicts a Japanese warrior standing on a beach with a pheasant, a dog, and a monkey against a backdrop of the sea and rocky cliffs, rendered in a multi-colour watercolour technique with a printed signature visible near the bottom right. The piece uses conservation framing with four mounts featuring double stepped corners and a Japanese style black lacquer frame. Measuring 37 cm high, 42 cm wide, and 2 cm deep, the framed artwork fits well on a narrow wall space in a gentleman's library, study, or hallway. The neutral paper ground of the wall hanging combines with the detailed watercolour scene to complement traditional interior decor schemes.

FAQs

Warwick Goble was a British illustrator working during the Golden Age of Illustration, specialising in watercolour plates for volumes of Japanese folklore, fairy tales, and Indian mythology published in the early twentieth century.

Original compositions were rendered in watercolour and ink before being reproduced using three-colour photo-mechanical printing processes onto paper plates, which were then tipped into bound volumes.

Authentic period prints exhibit characteristic halftone printing dots under magnification, period-appropriate paper stock with slight age toning, original plate boundaries, and integrated artist signatures.

These framed prints function well as accent pieces within gallery walls, placed in reading nooks, or styled along hallways and library shelving to add narrative depth to decorative schemes.

Frame prints using acid-free conservation mountboard and UV-protective glass, keeping the artwork away from high-humidity areas and direct sunlight to prevent fading and paper discolouration.
