The Giant Bolster, Legendary Creature

Color enhancement of George Cruikshank's illustration of the Giant Bolster striding from St Agnes Beacon to Carn Brea, a distance of six miles, for Robert Hunt's, Popular Romances Of The West Of England (1865). Bolster fell in love with the beautiful St Agnes, only to be betrayed and fooled into killing himself. He terrorized the countryside and was rumored to eat children and people at random. Agnes asked him to fill a nearby hole in the cliff at Chapel Porth with his blood to prove his love for her, knowing that there is a crack in the hole which runs out to the sea. Bolster cut himself to fill the hole and died due to blood loss. George Cruikshank (September 27, 1792 - February 1, 1878) was an English caricaturist and book illustrator. Color.
