Miscellaneous work by Herbert Dicksee, R.E.
including book illustrations
 

HD illustrations appear in a number of books, both of prose and poetry and I am attempting to include images, of those that I find. Please, if you come across any of these books, do not split them up just for the plates. If you really want to use an illustration from a book print, photograph it digitally and produce the print from the digital image. Books scream if they are vandalised and an ancient curse descends upon the vandal.
