GSV9-horton-chateau

This black pen-and-ink half-page illustration is outlined in a narrow double border, centered above the text of the poem “My Lady of Pain.” In the extreme foreground, a leafy outcrop partially obscures a river, which leads to the sea. The river passes under an arched bridge, which joins two sides of a large castle, made up of many buildings and towers. On either side of the river, tall banks are dotted with trees and brush. In the far distance, ships sail on the sea. The artist’s signature is in the bottom right corner of the frame. Below the image, the image’s title is printed “Chateau de Garde.”
