• NOTE: the following 0169 to 0173 should be viewed in conjunction with 0019 and 0020, all part of the same series of at least 28 images for LE MORTE D’ARTHUR, some prints of which Françoise submitted to Brussels for her Distinction and Mastery in book illustration (see note 3)
  View example »
• 0169: 27 engravings (all different), LE MORTE D’ARTHUR, all in a paper folder titled on the flap with a stuck on label: “Projets pour le Morte d’Arthur”. They are printed on smaller and thinner paper than the ‘official’ sets such as Set A (0172) and appear to be test prints or “etat”, some of which have a slip of paper held on by paperclip with a handwritten description of the scene by Françoise. Others have paperclip marks only. The 27 different images appear to be an almost full set of all the engravings done for Le Morte d’Arthur and are mostly with titles but not all. The Sangreal and The white hart don’t exist on this size of paper but one ‘white hart’ is in 1070. Overall, PCMT found (Aug 2019) 28 different images in one set or another. 0169 to 0173 is just one way to group them all. They are:
  Galahad after the fight, Lancelot and the archers, Battle, Balin and Balan, Fight of the lion and the serpent, Arthur and the questing beast, The white hart, Birth of Tristram, King Mark and Tristram, Betrothal of King Arthur and Guinevere, Tristram and Iseult, Balam and the ladies, Gareth and Dame Lineth, The Sangreal, The quest of the Sangreal, Merlin under the rock, King Arthur, Percival finds a shield on a boat, Gawaine chasing the white hart, Galahad Percival and Bors in prison with the Sangreal, The dead Lady of Astolat arrives at Camelot in a boat, Dying Gawaine writes a letter to Lancelot, Dying Arthur transported by three queens in a boat, Sir Arthur brings the Sword to his brother Kay, Arthur and Tristram, Lancelot and the dragon, Untitled (knight on white horse with flags in background), Untitled (two knights on horses facing each other)
  The untitled ones probably have a title in one of the sets
  Various dates in 1947 and 1948
  355mm high x 255mm wide approx on paper size 435mm high x 320mm wide
• 0170: 11 engravings (all different, from the series listed in 0169), LE MORTE D’ARTHUR, printed on smaller and thinner paper than the ‘official’ sets such as Set A (0172) and are all repeats of the engravings in 0169
  Various dates in 1947 and 1948 and some with no date
  355mm high x 255mm wide approx on paper size 435mm high x 320mm wide
• 0171: 3 engravings, LE MORTE D’ARTHUR, printed on smaller and thinner paper than the ‘official’ sets such as Set A (0172) and are all repeats of the engravings in 0169. The paper is slightly bigger than 0169 and 0170 which is why these three are listed separately
  No dates
  355mm high x 255mm wide approx on paper size 455mm high x 355mm wide
• 0172: 17 engravings (all different, from the series listed in 0169), LE MORTE D’ARTHUR, titled as follows: Galahad after the fight, Lancelot and the archers, Battle, Balin and Balan, Fight of the lion and the serpent, Arthur and the questing beast, The white hart, Birth of Tristram, King Mark and Tristram, Betrothal of King Arthur and Guinevere, Tristram and Iseult, Balam and the ladies, Gareth and Dame Lineth, The Sangreal, The quest of the Sangreal, Merlin under the rock, King Arthur. All are signed Francoise Taylor except Balin and Balan. The set is on ‘presentation’ paper and was packaged and marked as ‘A’ by TKT in pencil in bottom left corner. It included others on different sized paper which PCMT removed from this set in Aug 2019 because they don’t seem part of it even though they are marked ‘A’ – these are now either in 0169, 0170, or 0171
  No dates
  355mm high x 255mm wide approx on paper size 532mm high x 367mm wide
• 0173: 30 engravings (mostly different but with some repeats, from the series listed in 0169), LE MORTE D’ARTHUR, printed on the same ‘presentation’ paper as 0172. Many were marked by TKT as being in sets from ‘B’ to ‘G’ but there are no complete sets of those so they are bundled together as a pool which could be used to assemble a better set than A (which is incomplete anyway) and/or to improve set A. A few have titles written by Françoise but most of the prints have nothing written on and no signature (set ‘A’ – 0172 – mostly has signatures and is perhaps the same as the set Françoise sent to Brussels – maybe check MNA’s photos of the correspondence)
  No dates
  355mm high x 255mm wide approx on paper size 532mm high x 367mm wide (mostly – some slightly smaller)
• 0174: 24 pen and ink drawings with wash (all different, coloured and monochrome) which must actually be prints (lithographs?), GOOD KING WENCESLAS, in a paper folder with that title in typography and “Land’s End Books” on the cover. Inside is a sheet of typography explaining that the Carol was illustrated at Oxford about Christmas 1946. It also says three copies were printed the following Spring in Brussels at the National High School of Architecture and Decorative Arts, each bearing the name of one of the Three Magis, then “Gaspard”. Most sheets are double (folded) and many contain typography. Many of the pictures seem to have nothing to do with King Wenceslas

• 0194: 20 pen and ink drawings with watercolour (all different), VINGT BELGES, set of portraits of famous Belgians from the history of Belgium, marked on a typographic cover as Indutiomar, Clovis, Hubert d’Ardenne, Charles le Grand, Les Frères Aymon, Jacques Van Artevelde, Jean Froissart, Philippe Le Bon, Marie de Bourgogne, Charles Le Quint, Thyl Ulenspiegel, Lamoral d’Egmont, Philippe de Hornes, André Vesale, Albert et Isabelle, Gerard Mercator, Roland de Lassus, Modeste Grétry, Damien de Molokai, Jean Vincent, Désiré Joseph Mercier (21 names, not 20). All on white card with an attached covering sheet of tissue paper which seems to have kept the card paper perfectly white. There is a card cover with typography, an inside card with typography, and three inside sheets of paper with the same typography as the card cover and inside card. The pictures must be prints of the original drawings because the inside card states that this is one of two examples which were printed at the National High School of Architecture and Decorative Arts (in French). The portraits are not named but PCMT has deduced which is which person for all except Charles le Grand, Philippe de Hornes, Lamoral d’Egmont and Jean Vincent
