The Frenzied Prince (1943)

 

Illustrated by Willy Pogány

 

 

On the left, we show a rare copy of the Willy Pogány illustrative interpretation of the Colum's The Frenzied Prince. The 1st Edition was published by David MacKay Company (Philadelphia) in 1943.

 

This example retains the original illustrated Dust Jacket, in addition

to the original gold- and blind-stamped green cloth binding

(shown to the right).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Padraic Colum's wonderfully dramatic Celtic romantic tales included within The Frenzied Prince are complemented

in a lovely manner by Pogány's suite of colour and monotone plates that are brilliant examples of his own

matured romantic style.

 

The tales within The Frenzied Prince include: "Midir and Etain"; "The Cowherds' Fosterling"; "Cuchullain and the

Battle-Goddess"; "Cuchullain and the Warrior Women"; "The Death of Cuchullain"; "How the Harp Came to Tara";

"The Gruff Gillie"; "That Battle of Moy Rah"; "The King of Ireland's Daughter"; "The Death of Dermott O'Duivna";

"MacErca and the Wizard Woman"; and "The Blemished King".

When presented on Greeting Cards, these images are prepared as tipped-on plates - in hommage to the hand-crafted

approach typical of prestige illustrated publications produced in the early decades of the 20th Century. Each card is

hand-finished, with the image presented on Ivory card stock (in the case of the colour illustrations) or White card stock

(in the case of the monotone illustrations) with an accompanying envelope. On the rear of each card we also present

some information about Willy Pogány and the profiled illustration. We have left the interior of the cards blank so that

you may write your own personal message.

 

Each of our large format reproductions are prepared with archival quality materials and processes to ensure many

years of enjoyment. In addition, our reproductions are accompanied by explanatory material relating to Willy Pogány

and the profiled illustration.
