A Child's Book of Saints

I was going to upload this post much earlier today in honor of All Saints Day, but our dog took ill and we had to rush him off to the vet's, and I'm just now, late in the evening, able to complete this post. Our dog is doing well, flying high on some nifty drugs, but we're down 300 bucks for his tripping.

ANYway, in honor of All Saints Day, here be a set of pages from 1898 by Thomas Heath Robinson, the least known of the Brothers Robinson — illustrators all. They're not the most dazzling of images, but interesting in their own way, especially by way of demonstrating this illustrator's talents that were over-shadowed by Charles and William.

I've included several double page spreads, cuz I jes' love the whole layout of a book — words, stains, rough edges, ribbon 'n' all.
