Summary:
Here is a pictorial survey of the artists whose legendary heroes, beautiful heroines, sprites, elves, sorcerers, demons, imaginary landscapes, and supernatural adventures dominated Victorian and Edwardian illustration from 1860 to 1920. These highly inventive artists delved deeply into the unconsciousness and drew upon folklore, mythology, medieval art, and the remote past to discover symbols and images to illustrate the fantastic fiction and poetry of the time.
