Cossack fairy tales and folk-tales
A folk-tale collection of Cossack and Ukrainian stories compiled by R. Nisbet Bain and published in London by A. H. Bullen in 1902, with pen-and-ink illustrations by E. W. Mitchell. The pictures show rustic figures in period dress set in forests, farmyards and cottages, drawn in fine hatched line with plenty of white space, useful to a designer wanting a restrained Edwardian storybook style with strong figure silhouettes and textured foliage.
