Anna-Marie Ferguson
Ferguson, the first female artist to illustrate a complete edition of Malory, illustrated some key moments in the legends, including both familiar scenes and scenes rarely depicted. Her images capture the drama and emotion of the Arthurian stories and emphasize the many roles that women play in Malory’s Morte d’Arthur.
