This book is a one-of-a-kind collection of fine art prints and breathtaking illustrations taken directly from Nielsen's original watercolors—the only full set of his astonishing works to have survived. The book includes descriptions of all of the photographs as well as three lavishly illustrated articles on the creation of this series, the origins of Nielsen's distinctive iconography, and a history of the stories. It also includes many unreleased or seldom seen Nielsen artworks, as well as elaborate black-and-white drawings Nielsen did for the initial publication.
