1902 Illustrations from Oldfield

These seven illustrations were taken from the 1902 edition of Oldfield (A Kentucky Tale of the Last Century) by Nancy Huston Banks. The story centers on romance and innocence in a rural Kentucky town, as well as on tragedy and mystery surrounding several figures. The author even touches on the Kentucky attitude on the taking of a human life. These illustrations show a variety of relationships of love or conflict. Each page measures 7.5" high by 5" wide; each image 6.25" high by 3.5" wide. Originally created as watercolors, they are in a palette of pastel pinks, blues, yellows and greens. The illustrator is unknown. All are in good condition with light stains on small edge tears.
