The Enchanter Merlin and Illustrated Initial T with Heading
Howard Pyle1902/1902
Delaware Art Museum
Wilmington, DE, United States
Pyle's retelling of the British medieval adventures of King Arthur and his knights invited middle-class American boys to aspire to manly virtues.
The heavy black lines give the illustrations the appearance of mediaeval prints.
In the Arthurian legends, Merlin was the King's advisor as well as a magician and prophet.
