Antique Medieval Fair Rosamund Gloag Art Print 1899 FREE Shipping

Antique print - Fair Rosamund by I L Gloag 1899
Lovely photographic reproduction of a sculpture, from an antique British Periodical. A vintage print not a modern reproduction.

A beautiful image illustrating a quote from the folklore "Ballad of Fair Rosamond" - the story of King Henry II. and his beautiful mistress, Rosamond, the "Rose of the World". Henry made for her a house of wonderful working, so that no man or woman might come to her, to keep her secret and safe. But Queen Eleanor, Henry's wife, somehow found her out by a silken thread and dealt with her so harshly that she died not long after.

The queene this thread did gette,
And wente where Ladye Rosamonde
Was like an angell sette.

Here Rosamund sits at her easel with her embroidery or tapestry, ensconced in a secret garden enclave, and clothed in the most luxuriant robes, and pearl encrusted hair net, the silk threads that betrayed her litter the ground. A crow appears in the bottom right hand corner, where the shadow of Eleanor seems to be holding, perhaps a poisoned chalice. A really beautiful, Pre-Raphaelite style image by Victorian painter, Isobel Lilian Gloag (1868-1917). Exhibited for the Royal Academy in 1899.

Very Good - Some Marking
There is quite a bit of marking caused by fingering and a faint bend down the center of the print which, because of the colouring, is not too noticeable unless held up to the light. Please be aware of this before buying. This does not detract from the beauty of the print.

A Note on condition:
Minor imperfections are to be expected from antique prints due to their age and in many cases this does not affect the appearance of the print. Any blemishes that are noteworthy are described and shown in the picture where possible.
Colours will vary slightly depending on your monitor
Also Please Note: The watermark in the bottom right hand corner of the image does not appear on the print itself.
