Why You’ll Love It
Among Barbara Raheb's most desirable literary miniatures, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is an extraordinary color edition featuring readable text accompanied by beautifully hand-painted illustrations throughout. Unlike her standard black-and-white editions, this deluxe version showcases richly colored artwork created by Raheb herself, making it an exceptional centerpiece for collectors of medieval literature, and fine miniature books. This remarkable example is #118 of only 200 copies, beautifully bound in deep green pyroxylin with elegant gilt-stamped cover design depicting the legendary knight on horseback. Published in 1986 and preserved in immaculate condition.

A Note About Value
Every miniature we offer has been carefully evaluated for its craftsmanship, rarity, condition, provenance, and collectibility. Many of the artisan pieces we sell are one-of-a-kind works that may never appear on the market again. While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.
Our pricing reflects the miniature's place within today's collector market and the years we've spent studying the artists, histories, and values that make these tiny works of art so special.
A Commitment to Research
Every miniature has a story, and uncovering it is one of our greatest passions. We carefully research each piece, but unsigned or illegible works can remain mysteries. If you can identify an artist or provide additional information, we'd be delighted to hear from you and will gladly update the listing to preserve their legacy.
