ANYway, in honor of All Saints Day, here be a set of pages from 1898 by Thomas Heath Robinson, the least known of the Brothers Robinson — illustrators all. They're not the most dazzling of images, but interesting in their own way, especially by way of demonstrating this illustrator's talents that were over-shadowed by Charles and William.
I've included several double page spreads, cuz I jes' love the whole layout of a book — words, stains, rough edges, ribbon 'n' all.

The illustrations are wonderful and dynamic. Thank you!
Wonderfull Book!
These are lovely.
Happy to hear your dog is ok.
I'm glad these find favor. This era is like a rich archeological site, with treasures to be found at every turn of the 'trowel'.
Thank you about my dog. The vet thought maybe it was his pancreas, but blood tests ruled that out. He has some pain in that area and has no appetite for food or water. So we're giving him lots of TLC and 'feel no pain' meds, and we'll wait and see. He looks so stoic.
NICE!!!!! Thank you. Hope your dog feels better.
What an amazing post! Thank you for putting these up - beautiful images. Hope your dog is ok.
Wow these are Fantastic!!
Truly wonderful illustrations! thank you for posting. I never have heard of this book but will now need to track it down. There is definately an Edward Burne-Jones/PreRaphaelite inspiration going on here. good stuff.
