Master Skylark. A story of Shakspere's time ... Illustrations by R. B. Birch
A children's historical novel by John Bennett, set in Elizabethan England and published by the Century Co. in New York in 1897, with forty plates by Reginald Bathurst Birch. The pen drawings show doublets, ruffs, farthingales and slashed sleeves against timbered house fronts, cobbled streets, inn interiors and crowded tavern scenes, offering costume detail, grouped figures and hatched architectural backdrops.
