The Child Delivered to Merlin, N. C. Wyeth King Arthur Framed Print (1917)

A king's son leaves the palace at the back gate, wrapped in gold, and goes into the world as someone else's child. Merlin keeps the secret; Sir Ector does the raising.

For the people who carried someone else's destiny home and stayed up with it at night: fathers, foster parents, guardians.

Ready to hang: an 8 × 10 in framed print in a white or black wood frame. At home in a family room or nursery, or as a gift for a new father or someone who raised a child as their own.
