The Women of Waterhouse
Official release. This splendid collection of cards contains excellent reproductions of 24 of his most famous paintings...
In terms of presentation and quality of the reproductions, these are the best I've seen of his work. That's a personal opinion though as I prefer the gloss finish to the matt one. Others differ but to me they bring the works alive. You get a flavour of how it will look by looking at the Picasso postcard book I've scanned. Different cards obviously but exactly the same design. Here.
Official Blurb: One of the most popular of Victorian-era painters,
John W. Waterhouse (1849-1917) blended reality and fantasy, combining classical
mythology and European legend in his dramatic portraits of wistful, long-haired maidens. This collection includes 24 of his finest works, among them The Lady of Shalott, The Soul of the Rose,
and La Belle Dame Sans Merci.
