Clarke (1889-1931) worked for three years on these illustrations after receiving the commission from Harrap. Clarke is beloved for his intricate and faintly disturbing imagery, and, although he died at the young age of 41, is an important figure in Irish Arts & Crafts, both for his book illustration and stained glass. Rare.
