Glasgow Artist Katherine Cameron (1874-1965) trained at the Glasgow School of Art contemporaneously with the "Immortals," famously among them the artist Charles Rennie Mackintosh, in the late 1880's and early 1890's. These images reflect the Glasgow style of Art Nouveau, using watercolor, delicate pen and ink work and attenuated, twining figures. Cameron would adopt a different style for her later work, which included etchings, landscapes and sometimes riotously-colored illustrations of flowers. Cover image: "She Clad Herself in Rich Silk Stuffs" Inside: "Aucassin Made Her Lady Of Beaucaire", "She Took Her Dress in One Hand Before And In the Other Hand, He Held His Horse By the Bridle" and They Began to Go Along the Shore." Printed by Neil and Co., Ltd. Edinburgh. Text selected from MacMillan's second edition (1897) "just published," according to the introduction.*
