including border).
X. Ornamental border for full page.
XI. Frieze for chapter-heading; six men fighting, on foot, three of
them panoplied. Reproduced in _Magazine of Art_, November 1896,
"Fifty Drawings," _Idler_, March 1897, and _St Paul's_, April 9th,
1898. The original drawing is 13-3/4 inches long by 4-1/2 inches.
As may be seen, even in the reduced reproduction, one inch
at either end was added by the artist at the request of his
publisher, so as to increase the proportionate length of the
ornament. Subsequently Mr Frederick H. Evans photographed the
drawing, full size, and produced fifteen platinotype copies,
of which twelve only were for sale, and the plate destroyed.
