King: 'To Prof. Fred. Yorke Powell, with the sincere regards of the illustrator. Jan. 1903'. Frederick York Powell (King slightly misspells his surname), 1850-1904, was Regius Professor of Modem History at Oxford. Known as a translator of Icelandic sagas and an authority on medieval literature, he can also be 'usefully situated within fin-de-siecle networks of artists, folklorists, poets and scholars' (Howsam, 2021, Yellow 90s 2.0, UWindsor); he invited Verlaine and Mallarme to Oxford, published translations from Omar Khayyam, was an avid collector of Japanese prints, served as president of the Irish Texts Society, in 1902 went to Liverpool to speak in support of the endowment of Celtic Studies in the university, and in 1904 was made President of the Folklore Society. He was thus firmly embedded in the same milieu as King, whose illustrations for Fitzgerald's translation of Khayyam were published in 1903, and who shared York Powell's interest in the folkloric, Celtic, and fantastic: 'influenced by a Gaelic-speaking nursemaid with a fund of folklore, Jessie believed herself gifted with âsecond sightâ and her art was inspired by fantasy' (ODNB). 1902, the year Jephtha was published, saw several landmarks in King's early career: she won a gold medal for a cover design at the Turin exhibition of Decorative Art (which secured her the commission for Jephtha, her first book illustrations for a British publisher), as well as joining the Glasgow School of Art as an instructor in book illustration. King's work on Jephtha shows her own connection to specifically Scottish cultural networks: A. Gordon Mitchell, who produced translations of both Buchanan's original Latin dramas, served as minister of Killearn, Buchanan's birthplace and the neighbouring parish to New Kilpatrick, where King was born and where her father was the minister. A scarce early work by King, inscribed by her to another significant figure in the turn-of-the-century cultural sphere. Robust packaging. Tracking is always added to USA orders. It can be added to other overseas orders on request. Used books are exempt from USA tariffs. 1st edn. Inscribed by illustrator. Hardback. Size: 130pp. Inscribed by illustrator.…
