Keith Henderson's "Green Mansions"

gm01.jpgSeveral images here from Keith Henderson, illustrating a novel from 1904. Not sure when the pictures were actually made - for the first edition of the novel or a later one - though they appear to be from early in the century. I could be wrong, but they look like woodcuts. I'm not ape-shit crazy about these, but they're nice enough. I like the big double-page spreads best; they really impart a sense of scale, be it the vast darkness of the empty night or a swarm of giant vines, etc.
