This historic Initial Letter was designed by French illustrator Maurice Lalau. It was used in a book about the legendary love story of Tristan and Isolde. The legend began as a French poem in 1230.
Each letter is beautifully presented in a solid wood gold frame and a generous 6 ply mat with a hand-painted gold beveled edge. There is a hook for wall hanging or an optional brass easel stand for desk and tabletop display. Attached to the back is a story card describing the history behind the letter.
