Isabella, or The Pot of Basil ... Illustrated and decorated by W. B. Macdougall
Keats's narrative poem Isabella, or The Pot of Basil, issued in London by Kegan Paul in 1898 with illustrations and page decoration by William Brown Macdougall for buyers of art-press editions. Every page sits inside a black-ground border of pomegranates, blossom, ivy and flame-like leaves, with drawn initial letters — usable as frames, corner units, botanical silhouettes and display capitals.
