Figure descriptions
A woman wearing a ruffled collar stands in front of a window. She reaches her arm
out in front of her; a dove perches on her
hand with its wings outstretched. The top portion of the window is decorated with
a stained-glass crest; the lower portions of the
window feature geometric patterns. This section of the illustration is partially contained
within a single-ruled border. It is then
superimposed over a full-page rectangle, which is shaded and contained within a double-ruled
border. The top-right section of the
illustration is decorated with a foliate pattern. The hand-drawn caption, “THREE NIGHTS
AGO SHE LOOSED HER DOVE”, is placed at the
bottom of the illustration. Two small flowers appear next to the caption.
The hand-drawn poem title, “THE EARL’S LOVE”, is placed alongside clovers on a wrinkled
banner or ribbon. The banner stretches
across a circular locket frame that holds a portrait of a woman. The woman is wearing
a ruffled collar and is shown from the chest
up. 1/3 page.
Facsimile of Katharine Tynan’s signature. 1/32 page.
Multiple knights ride horses. The knights are dressed in full armour and are partially
surrounded by trees. The top of a
castle is visible in the distance. A flag is raised on one of the castle’s towers.
There is a body of water behind the trees in the
background. 1/3-page illustration contained within a double-ruled border.
