The Bodley Head publishes Laurence Housman's Green Arras

In fall of 1896, John Lane at The Bodley Head published Laurence Housman's first collection of poetry, the self-illustrated Green Arras.. Designed by Housman himself, the book included "The Gazing Faun," the poetic part of a "double-work" whose visual version first appeared in The Yellow Book, volume 1, as "The Reflected Faun." The author-illustrator's sister Clemence Housman, a highly skilled wood engraver, engraved the elaborate designs for the book's facing frontispiece and title-page.  The following year, The Bodley Head published another book created by the collaborating siblings: Clemence Housman's gothic tale, The Were-Wolf, whose illustrations the author engraved after Laurence's designs.
