Summary: Fairies, ghouls, and ghosts galore
Comment: I came upon this book by accident. I'd been searching for antique childrens' book illustrations when - lo and behold! - this flew into my lap.
The paintings are exquisite and quite astonishing, considering they were rendered in an emotionally stifled period. There is plenty of whimsy here, but more of the fantastic. Some of the artists were said to have gone on opium binges in order to render the capricious fairy world on canvas. Regardless of how they did it, they set the stage for a new set of ideals: secret places, strange creatures, wings, fangs, claws....

Summary: Victorian Fairy Painting
Comment: This is a serious art book about the Victorian passion for fairy art. It includes information about fairy plays, musicals and most importantly the prominent painters of the day. I found the paintings very beautiful and the writing by Jeremy Maas first-rate. You won't find any pictures from the popular C.M. Barker here but you will find many from lesser known artists like John Anster Fitzgerald, Joseph Noel Paton and Richard Doyle.
