This is a collection of the art inside the 1919 edition of George MacDonald’s book At the Back of the North Wind. The art was done by Jessie Willcox Smith, one of the greats!
To make this post, I downloaded a scan of the book from the Internet Archive, then edited the raw photos (cropping, straightening). Some of them are, I think, a little darker in tone than they would’ve been originally, but I kept them as-is for now. Enjoy!
