They have not left us.

I finally uploaded the amazing illustrations that I've been talking about and to whet your appetite, I will leave one outside of the cut. I chose ones that represent people and things in Milliways so please take them and icon them or use them however you wish.

Also a warning, as you can tell from the first picture, this is an incredibly image heavy post so I apologize for any slow loading.

Small edit since I completely forgot the source. Myths and Enchantment Tales Stories and Illustrations by Margaret Evans Price 1950 edition, first published 1924.

Oh, these are just stunning. Thank you so much for posting them!

I have more but these were the relevant ones.

I'm so glad you like them since this book is how I feel in love with myths in the first place.

I remember those illustrations. I think I had that book as a child. Oh for the days when books had wonderful pen and ink illustrations. I wish they still did but I suppose fshions have changed. We'd expect full colour digitised images now showing everything.

Which is a shame since this kind of book is so powerful with simple pen and ink.

Oh, Fi, these are gorgeous. I'm so glad you've shared them with us here.

You're quite welcome, I adore having a scanner to play with.
