~ Orpheus a Myth, told by Jean Lang, written by Freda Langhorne.

c. 1930

21 pp. manuscript written out by Freda Langhorne in blue and black ink with a lyre illustration on the front and with illuminated borders on each page and 20 large decorated initials in green, red, blue and black ink. Unbound in folded sheets.

Jean Lang (1867-1932) wrote the extremely popular A Book of Myths first published in London and New York in 1914. In it was this poetic chapter about Odysseus.
Freda Langhorne wrote out this chapter delicately and carefully adding some charming borders and initials, it is more than usually well-done.
