The Nightingale. Dished up on China plates by R. André
A picture-book retelling of Andersen's "The Nightingale" drawn and designed by Richard André, published in London in 1899 for children. Bold pen-and-ink plates fill each page with heavy black grounds, chinoiserie fret borders, fans, and circular vignettes that split a scene into several framed moments, useful for panel layouts, ornamental frames, and high-contrast silhouette figures.
