More Celtic fairy tales
A folklore collection of Celtic fairy tales compiled by Joseph Jacobs, with illustrations by John Dickson Batten, published in New York by Putnam in 1895 for a general readership of children and adults. The pictures are pen-and-ink line drawings with bold black and white contrast, showing a woman riding a fox, a hooded old crone pouring coins from her hands, small pointed-hat figures at a cave mouth, and a huge clawed giant looming over sleeping figures; a designer could draw on their hatched shading and vivid folkloric characters for storybook or fantasy work.
