An enchanted garden : fairy stories

Molesworth, Mrs., 1839-1921, Hennessy, William John, 1839-1917, ill · 1892 · London : T.F. Unwin · 19 pictures

An 1892 London collection of fairy stories by Mrs. Molesworth, published by T.F. Unwin and illustrated by William John Hennessy, held by the Boston Public Library. The pictures here are horizontal interlace panels: knotted Celtic-style bands with interwoven ribbons, animal heads, and beast forms set in framed borders. A designer could take from them ready-made strapwork borders, zoomorphic knotwork, and compact frieze layouts for decorative bands.
