About this stamp:
Galahad's Departure, from Harper's Monthly Magazine, September 1902; illustration for The Quest of the Holy Grail, 1895-1902, mural for the Boston Public Library.

This stamp is from the Classic Collection Series, which showcased the art of twenty American illustrators of magazines, posters, books, and advertisements. Edwin Austin Abbey (1852-1911) began his career as a magazine illustrator and later achieved renown as a painter and muralist. A meticulous researcher, Abbey strived for detail and authenticity in his depictions of Shakespearean and other traditionally British subjects.
