What is Visual Haggard?
Read H. Rider Haggard through images
Visual Haggard is a digital archive of the illustrations that accompanied the fiction of H. Rider Haggard (1856–1925). Across roughly fifty novels, Haggard's texts were lavishly illustrated—often repeatedly, in different editions and by different artists. Illustration was central to the way readers encountered these romances in the nineteenth century, and this archive works to restore that visual dimension for contemporary audiences.
