Cover: The Dragon’s Den

Continuing our theme of raiding the free image collection provided by the British Library, here we have a fantasy-themed cover. The image is titled, ‘The Dragon’s Den’ and it comes from Among the Gnomes. An occult tale of adventure in the Untersberg by Franz Hartmann. The book was published in 1895 by T Fisher Unwin. The illustrator is known as Sedgwick, but I haven’t found out any more about them. There is a version of the book available on Project Gutenberg should you want to know why a bunch of gnomes are oggling a mostly-naked girl.

As usual, there is a larger copy of the image below.
