This illustration is one of several by Donn Philip Crane included in the version of the Divine Comedy told in the My Book House series of books for children, 12 magical volumes full of stories ranging from nursery rhymes and folktales, to fairy tales and great myths, to biographies and condensed classics of literature. My set was published in 1937 and was handed down from my mother's family. It sustained me through much of what was a pretty miserable childhood, and remains one of my most treasured possessions. It started my love affair with Golden Age illustration and was foundational in my development as an artist. I cannot tell you the joy that I felt when I came across this post in my feed, so thanks for sharing it!

Literary Canon (from kissgrammar)

The Holy Bible, Authorized King James Version [At a minimum, the books of Genesis, Exodus, Job, Psalms, from the Old Testament; Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Apocalypse from the New.] Whether or not you are Christian is irrelevant. The civilization in which we live is based on and permeated by the ideas and values expressed in this book. Understanding our civilization, the world in which we live, is probably impossible without having read -- and thought about -- at least the most famous books in the Bible. Historically, the King James Version is considered the most artistic, and thus has probably had the most literary influence.

From the Tower Window of my Bookhouse

Edoted by Olive Beaupré Miller

Chicago, the Bookhouse for Children Publishers

1921

Artist : Donn Philip Crane

Far away within the wood a troop of Fauns and Sa’tyrs were dancing in a round, while old Syl-va’nus, who was their king, slept in a shady arbor. Gay, rustic, wild-wood folk were these, with horns upon their foreheads and shaggy legs of goats.
