More magic pictures of the long ago; stories of the people of many lands; with reproductions from works of art and old manuscripts
A 1920 American children's storytelling anthology published in New York by Henry Holt, compiled by Anna Curtis Chandler and drawn from many lands, pairing its tales with reproductions of old artworks and manuscripts. The four pictures are halftone reproductions: a Byzantine mosaic of a crowned empress with attendants, a Gothic-style interior painting of seated figures at a throne, a medieval panel of stacked scenes with a rider and gathered figures, and a long ceiling fresco layout divided into framed panels. A designer might take from them the flat, tiered compositions and framed narrative panels typical of medieval and Renaissance religious art.
