Isabella And The Pot Of Basil is a notable work by Jessie Marion King, a prominent Scottish illustrator and designer associated with the Glasgow School movement. Published in 1907, this illustrated book is based on the narrative poem "Isabella, or the Pot of Basil" by John Keats, which itself draws inspiration from a tale in Giovanni Boccaccio's "Decameron." The story revolves around Isabella, a young woman who falls in love with Lorenzo, a man of lower social standing. Their secret love affair is tragically cut short when Isabella's brothers, disapproving of the relationship, murder Lorenzo. Guided by a dream, Isabella discovers Lorenzo's grave, exhumes his body, and buries his head in a pot of basil, which she tends to obsessively.

Jessie Marion King's interpretation of this tragic love story is distinguished by her ethereal and intricate illustrations, which capture the melancholic and romantic essence of Keats' poem. King's work is characterized by her distinctive Art Nouveau style, marked by flowing lines, delicate details, and a dreamlike quality that complements the narrative's emotional depth. Her illustrations for Isabella And The Pot Of Basil are considered some of her finest, showcasing her ability to blend literary and visual art seamlessly.

King's contribution to the arts extends beyond book illustration; she was also a talented designer of jewelry, textiles, and ceramics. Her work has been influential in the development of early 20th-century illustration and design, and she remains a celebrated figure in the history of Scottish art. Isabella And The Pot Of Basil stands as a testament to her artistic vision and her ability to evoke profound emotion through her illustrations.
