About This Item
The Blue Dwarf, c. 1885. Print. New. Robert Prowse. Lithograph print by Robert Prowse on Paper. SIGNED PRINT. Size: 11" x 7" (280mm x 190mm). The Blue Dwarf A Tale of Mystery Love and Crime was written by Percy B. St John. It is an action-packed tale of highwaymen, Scottish Jacobites and Red Indians. This is basically a bizarre re-telling of the legend of the famous Highwayman Dick Turpin as sometimes helped and sometimes hindered by the titular Blue Dwarf. Most peculiar. This is an example of the art prints to be found bound in (thus the creases) or given away free with the notorious Penny Dreadfuls that entertained the masses in the 19th Century. There were 37 issues of The Blue Dwarf later collected into three bound editions just as today comics "floppies" are collected as "graphic novels". c. 1885. At some point the paper has been mounted on a light card. Small tears and was once folded before being remounted. Slight discolouration outside image area.
