Fantastic illustrations: three finely executed original drawings in penand brown ink on paper, two signed with the monogram J [or T] G I n.p, ca. 1860s-70s Three fine, professional-quality drawings, evidently used as book illustrations:on the back of one is lightly inked, "comes at the end of Vol [I?] or beginning of Vol [II?]. Illustration of story told me by young lady the clergyman's daughter". Another drawing bears the faint inscription "see p. 271" and the third, "see p. 291". An intriguing set of drawings indeed, their style suggesting an English origin (FANTASY ART) The drawings measure approximately 6 x 9 inches. One drawing shows a rustic interior with a group of demonic cats cavorting around a man who sits inside a white circle holding a pair of scissors; another shows a bedroom with a group of 15 goblins sleeping beside a couple's bed; the third shows a troll with her tail caught in a split log as an axe-holding woodsman looks delightedly on.
