Warwick Goble's illustrations of Chaucer works

Last week we expanded our collection of Warwick Goble artwork by adding the illustrations from a 1912 edition of works by medieval English poet Geoffrey Chaucer. Images (available as 300 dpi jpgs) include scenes from The Canterbury Tales.

Constantinople paintings of Warwick Goble

The latest addition to our gallery of images by early-20th-century illustrator Warwick Goble is a subset of the pictures painted for the 1906 book Constantinople. For high-resolution images, please visit our gallery.

In my opinion, many of the watercolor images in this set lack the detail and exotic flavor of the Indian myth paintings (see previous post), but some are quite evocative.
