Florence Harrison (1877-1955), an English-Australian artist, left an indelible impression on the world of illustration with her captivating and fantastical artwork for children. Combining Pre-Raphaelite influences with the techniques of fin-de-siècle (turn of the century) poster artists, she crafted a unique style that was indeed her own. Her Golden Age illustrations encompassed a wide range, from bringing her poetry for children to life to adorning the pages of Romantic literary works by renowned authors such as Christina Rossetti, William Morris, and Sir Alfred Tennyson.

One thing I always marvel about in museums are ancient, medieval books. It always amazes me to see how much work was put in lettering and illustrating those books, especially when you keep in mind the books couldn’t be printed or copied yet and thus always had a circulation of one. The influences of golden […]

This beautiful recycled book plate print called "The Sugar-plum Tree” is from the 1996 version of “Poems of Childhood” by Eugene Field (1850 – 1895), illustrated by Maxfield Parrish (1870 – 1966) and published by Charles Scribner’s Sons of New York. Field was a newspaper journalist before turning his hand to poetry where he became well known for his light hearted poems for children. Parrish had an artistic career that lasted for more than half a century and helped to shape the Golden Age of Illustration and the future of American visual arts. He devised many innovative techniques which no other major artist has successfully copied. Books illustrated by Parrish are highly sought after by collectors and many of his illustrations are so popular they are still reproduced and found in books printed today. The soft muted colors and age of this print make it unique in appearance and texture. His art features dazzlingly luminous colors. The print definition and quality are typical of that time period as well, lacking much of the sharp clarity that is available today with offset printing, but adds timeless charm to this beautiful image. The distinctive Parrish style offers a glimpse into art and illustrations created at the turn of the century. The original book page measures 9 1/2 x 14 inches Please note this is an authentic 25 year old vintage print, not a reprint or reproduction. ******************************************************************* SPECIAL OFFER Buy any 4 prints from my shop for a 15% discount Enter code BUY4GET15PERCENT at checkout *************************************************************************** Buy with confidence.

Published: 1975 by Peacock Press, New York This is a genuine vintage print (NOT A COPY OR MODERN REPRODUCTION) Print Size: 8 1/2 inches x 11 3/4 inches Image Size: 6 1/2 inches x 9 1/4 inches The condition of the book plate is excellent, text on reverse does not show through. This colourful artwork is ideal for framing either alone or in a group, for any discerning Kay Nielsen or Art Nouveau aficionado! ******** ** MULTIPLE ITEM SHIPPING DISCOUNT: I WILL COMBINE ANY NUMBER OF PRINTS IN ONE PACKAGE AND CHARGE ONLY ONE SHIPPING FEE! *** ALL PRINTS ARE PACKED IN AN ACETATE-FREE BAG AND DISPATCHED IN A STURDY HARD BACKED "DO NOT BEND" ENVELOPE. ********** Kay Rasmus Nielsen (1886-1957) was born into an illustrious Danish theatre family – his parents both being celebrated actors of the time. As a child Nielsen's artistic talent blossomed when he began drawing the fantastical scenes he imagined as he read the sagas of the northern countries. Nielsen's work was influenced in a major way by three things; The oriental art that his grandfather brought back from his trips to China; The artistic style of Aubrey Beardsley particularly his floral style and elongated figures; Nielsen was heavily influenced by the Art Nouveau movement which was popular between 1890 and 1910. The 'Golden Age of Illustration' from the 1880's to the 1920's was a period of unprecedented excellence in book and magazine illustration. It developed from advances in technology permitting accurate and inexpensive reproduction of art combined with a voracious public demand for new graphic art. Kay Nielsen is ranked alongside the likes of Arthur Rackham and Edmund Dulac as one of the leading lights in the Golden Age of Illustration but is far from a household name. ********

Arthur Rackham - Art Gallery of complete Illustrations for the First edition of Goblin Market. Published by George Harrap, 1933.
These are a few of Arthur B. Frost’s illustrations for Lewis Carroll’s “Phantasmagoria,” as collected in Rhyme? And Reason? in 1884. Frost was part of the Golden Age of American Illustration; he illustrated more than ninety books, including a few by Carroll. ]
The cover artwork by Rowena Morrill for the 1988 edition of Clifford D. Simak’s book ‘Project Pope.’ When Rowena Morrill scored her first book cover as an artist, the year was 1977, and she was one of a scant few women making a name for themselves in the male-dominated world of fantasy and science fiction art. According to the artist, her entrance into the world of fantasy illustration was a happy accident. After relocating to Philadelphia, Morrill found work in a local art gallery taking commissions for customers which mostly consisted of wildlife scenes. Later she would move to New York to work for an ad agency—a gig she detested, prompting her to seek a new job anywhere but there. Ace Books, the highly regarded and longest-running sci-fi publisher in the U.S. gave Morrill a job. The opportunity would result in her artwork appearing in or on over 400 books by authors like Philip K. Dick and Neil Gaiman’s hero R.A. Lafferty. Morrill’s work also appeared on the cover of National Lampoon, horror staple Creepy, Heavy Metal and was even swiped for the cover of an early demo by Metallica, Power Metal. The painting in question...
This original 2-sided print from the 1978 book “Fairy Tales From Many Lands” is illustrated by Arthur Rackham and signed in the plates. It is printed on glossy paper and measures 7” x 8.5” (18cm x 22cm). Both sides feature illustrations from "The Allies' Fairy Book" and there is a good margin for framing. Arthur Rackham (1867–1939) was an English book illustrator and is recognised as one of the leading literary figures during the Golden Age of British book illustration. His work is noted for its robust pen and ink drawings, which were combined with the use of watercolour. He has been called The Beloved Enchanter, and spellbound we become as we venture into his world of menacing forests and their horrifying denizens. It is a world of evil gnomes, brutish giants, ponderous dragons and comic but naughty dwarves. Nature herself assumes a sinister personality, trees threaten and shadows conceal, In this stark world, one is not likely to find the smooth-skinned, roseate or plump. Yet trespass they do, the barefooted woodlanders, beautiful princesses and gallant young knights. And although they are ill at ease, their finery and delicacy mocked, their lives in peril, they will emerge triumphant and sometimes wiser from this land of faery. All our prints are shipped in protective plastic sleeves and in flat cardboard envelopes to ensure they arrive safely. We will ship ANY number of prints in one package - you pay one shipping fee only!
Arthur Rackham is widely regarded as one of the leading illustrators from the golden age of British book illustration, which encompassed the years 1890 until the end of World War I. The acclaim for the artist's wealth of color illustrations has overshadowed the merit of his first-rate ink work, a genre richly deserving of individual attention. This original volume, the first available collection of Rackham's line art, features images from throughout his career, including illustrations for Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and some rare periodical work.In addition, this compilation presents two seldom-seen magazine features on the artist: "Arthur Rackham: The Wizard at Home," a 1905 article from The International Studio, and "Arthur Rackham: A Painter of Fantasies," a 1914 article from St. Nicholas Magazine. These articles, not reprinted in over a century, contain pictures of Rackham's studio and residence as well as some stories of his own commentary. Together with scores of strange and wonderful illustrations, they provide fresh insights into the work of the artist known as "the Beloved Enchanter." non-fiction; art designs; art appreciation; art study; 19th century art; fine arts; arthur rackham designs; 19th century line art techniques; line art; drawing; line illustrations; black and white illustrations; art; artists; beauty,
