history of King Arthur and his knights of the Round table (New York:
C. Scribner's Sons, 1917).

This frequently reprinted version of Malory was illustrated
by Newell Convers Wyeth (1882 - 1945), father of Andrew Wyeth. N.C. Wyeth
was a pupil of Howard Pyle’s, and his paintings for this book show the
influence of Pyle’s style: Wyeth’s Arthur is the sort of robust figure
emphasized in Pyle’s own work, and the landscapes suggest Pennsylvania’s
Brandywine Valley, where Pyle had his school.
