The Lady of Shalott (6-pack Card)

The Lady of Shalott (6-pack Card)

John William Waterhouse

N2BS/JWW/007

 Wholesale greeting cards featuring art by John William Waterhouse, the famous 19th century Pre-raphaelite artist.

The rear of the card reads: This famous painting is based on Tennyson's poem, "The Lady of Shalott". Published in 1883, the poem tells the tale of a fair maiden, cursed and living alone in a tower on an island near King Arthur's castle. Filling her days by weaving a tapestry of the scenes of Camelot she views through the reflection in a mirror, one day she glimpses the gallant knight Lancelot and cannot resist looking at him directly. The curse of love from which she suffers causes her to leave her tower and take a boat moored on the river that leads to the castle. She casts off, singing softly to herself, and allows the current to carry her towards Camelot, but her life ebbs away before she reaches her destination.
