About:
A collection of vintage illustrations, taken from books published between the 18th century and the first quarter of the 20th century. Unlike the pictures from the main site, these ones don't belong to me, and I don't own the originals. While most of them are in the public domain, it doesn't imply that they are all free to use for commercial purpose. Please read the terms of service of the source site before incorporating them into your projects.
Un florilège d'illustrations anciennes, extraites de livres publiés entre le XVIIIe siècle et le premier quart du XXe siècle.
A la différence des images proposées sur le site principal, les originaux de celles-ci ne m'appartiennent pas. Bien que la plupart soient aujourd'hui dans le domaine public, cela ne signifie pas pour autant que leur réutilisation à des fins commerciales soit toujours autorisée. Veuillez donc prendre connaissance des conditions d'utilisations des sources citées avant d'intégrer ces images à vos projets.

… And all day long we rode
Thro’ the dim land against a rushing wind,
That glorious roundel echoing in our ears.

Mounted, and reach’d a hand, and on his foot
She set her own and climb’d; he turn’d his face
And kiss’d her climbing, and she cast her arms
About him, and at once they rode away.

Shore thro’ the swarthy neck, and like a ball
The russet-bearded head rolled on the floor.
So died Earl Doorm, by him he counted dead.

So, scared but at the motion of the man,
Fled all the boon companions of the Earl,
And left him lying in the public way.

First, thou thyself, with damsel and with dwarf,
Shall ride to Arthur’s court, and coming there,
Crave pardon for that insult done the Queen.

All dwelling else
Flood overwhelmed, and them, with all their pomp,
Deep under water rolled.

Hell at last
Yawning, received them whole.
