Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Story of King Arthur and His Knights is a November 1903 novel by the American illustrator and writer Howard Pyle. It was published by Charles Scribner's Sons. Pyle's illustrations for the stories have been called "glorious", with the text and the illustrations complementing each other.The book consists of a large series of episodes in the legend of the mythological first king of Britain King Arthur and his knights of the Round Table. The Winning of Kinghood-This section of the book tells how young Arthur pulled a sword out of an anvil, how he learned of his royal lineage, and how he thus became king. The Winning of a Sword--King Arthur loses to his enemy, King Pellinore, and is wounded thereof. Merlin advises Arthur to seek Excalibur. The Lady of the Lake instructs Arthur on how to earn the sword, and, following her instructions, takes Excalibur. He then meets Pellinore again, and with Excalibur's magic, he wins against him. The two thereafter make amends and become friends. The Winning of a Queen--King Arthur is infatuated with the Lady Guinevere, the daughter of his friend, King Leodegrance, and visits Cameliard, where she resides. with Merlin's help, disguises himself as a peasant and works as a gardener below her tower. Meanwhile, King Ryence threatens Leodegrance for much of his lands, and also for the notorious Duke of North Umber being able to marry Guinevere. The Duke torments the people of Cameliard by parading in front of the castle, calling for a battle. Arthur, though unrecognized by others, takes up battle and defeats the Duke. Howard Pyle (March 5, 1853 - November 9, 1911) was an American illustrator and author, primarily of books for young people. A native of Wilmington, Delaware, he spent the last year of his life in Florence, Italy. In 1894 he began teaching illustration at the Drexel Institute of Art, Science and Industry (now Drexel University). After 1900, he founded his own school of art and illustration, named the Howard Pyle School of Illustration Art. The scholar Henry C. Pitz later used the term Brandywine School for the illustration artists and Wyeth family artists of the Brandywine region, several of whom had studied with Pyle.Some of his more notable students were N. C. Wyeth, Frank Schoonover, Elenore Abbott, Ethel Franklin Betts, Anna Whelan Betts, Harvey Dunn, Clyde O. DeLand, Philip R. Goodwin, Thornton Oakley, Violet Oakley, Ellen Bernard Thompson Pyle, Olive Rush, Allen Tupper True, Elizabeth Shippen Green, Arthur E. Becher, William James Aylward, and Jessie Willcox Smith. Pyle's home and studio in Wilmington, where he taught his students, is still standing and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.His 1883 classic publication The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood remains in print, and his other books, frequently with medieval European settings, include a four-volume set on King Arthur. He is also well known for his illustrations of pirates, and is credited with creating what has become the modern stereotype of pirate dress.He published his first novel, Otto of the Silver Hand, in 1888. He also illustrated historical and adventure stories for periodicals such as Harper's Magazine and St. Nicholas Magazine. His novel Men of Iron was adapted as the movie The Black Shield of Falworth (1954).Pyle travelled to Florence, Italy in 1910 to study mural painting. He died there in 1911 of a sudden kidney infection (Bright's Disease). . Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very good. First editions, first printings. Four 4to volumes, all in original mustard-color cloth with spines and upper boards blocked in black, red and gilt., With black and white illustrations by Howard Pyle. These titles have traditionally suffered cracked inner hinges because the textblock was too heavy for the binding structure. Here, the second and third volumes have perfect inner hinges. The remaining two have had minor and nearly invisible repairs to the inner hinges. Aside from this, there is minor wear at edges and spine tips, else this is a very good set. Pyle's quintessential treatment of King Arthur. "The books are lavishly decorated with Beardsleyesque headpieces, tail pieces, and full-page pen-and-ink drawings featuring enigmatic ladies, neo-Gothic furnishings and complexly patterned dress and armor."--so does Muriel Whitaker describe this set in the Arthurian Encyclopedia.

A FINE AND VERY HANDSOMELY BOUND SET OF THE FOUR BOOKS OF STORIES OF KING ARTHUR AND HIS KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND TABLE. THE STORY OF KING ARTHUR AND HIS KNIGHTS was the first in a series of four books which Pyle both wrote and illustrated concerning the legend of King Arthur. Following the first book came: THE CHAMPIONS OF THE ROUND TABLE, SIR LAUNCELOT AND HIS COMPANIONS and THE GRAIL AND THE PASSING OF ARTHUR. Perhaps one of the most monumental undertakings of his career, the books were originally issued from 1903 until 1910. As a boy, Pyle had been deeply impressed especially by Sir Thomas Malory's portrayal of the story, and drew heavily from it in his own retelling. As we turn the pages of these volumes, we are immediately drawn into the world of castles, knights, wizards, and chivalry. The black and white illustrations are rich with old world tapestry and texture and are inspirited with noble movement and emotion. Pyle emphasized to his "art students the importance of total immersion, a kind of physical and mental projection into the picture until the artist senses that he has actually become the object. Only in this manner, Pyle emphasized, can the subject come to life in the painting. 'Pictures are the creations of the imagination and not of technical facility.I subordinate that technical training entirely to the training of the imagination.'"-Susan Meyer. We grasp Pyle's immersion in his medieval subject as we journey into these powerful scenes with him. He was personally inspired by the Arthur Legend and wrote in his introduction,"For I believe that King Arthur was the most honorable, gentle Knight who ever lived in all the world. And those who were his fellows of the Round Table-taking him as their looking-glass of chivalry-made, altogether, such a company of noble knights that it is Hardly to be supposed that their like will ever be seen again in this world. Wherefore it is that I have had such extraordinary pleasure in beholding how those famous knights behaved whenever circumstances called upon them to perform their endeavor." Through Pyle's passionate and sensitive writing and illustration, we too can be stirred once again by this inspiring legend.
