The Chap-Book 1898

"The Chap-Book" (1898) is an illustration by Will Bradley for a collection of songs, ballads, tales, and histories. The artwork features two figures, a man and a woman, sitting together in a garden, surrounded by lush vegetation. The image is created in a bold black and white style, using stark contrasts to highlight the figures and details. The image was created for a book and is a fine example of the Art Nouveau style that was prevalent in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
