He was, by then fully at home with his bright, colorful country style of painting, and this is apparent in the brilliant illustrations he created for Lanier’s text. 1917 was also the year the United States Congress declared war on Germany and began to build the army that would win the awful war in 1918. It was probably more than coincidence that the Scribners, chose to highlight the Arthurian legend that year. NCW’s “Three Deadly Blasts” was, after a fashion, a call to arms.
