The
Golden Age of Illustration
Victorian & Edwardian Illustrations |
|
From
the 1860s to the 1930s, there was a blooming movement of the illustrator's
art in America and England.
During this period notables such as Arthur Rackham and Charles Dana
Gibson, Maxfield Parrish, J.C. Leyendecker and Fanny Cory, transformed
the art of children's book illustration.
The movement developed from the advances in printing technology
that permitted accurate and inexpensive art, coupled with a high
demand by the public for new graphic illustrations.

his first set of watercolors. In 1890 at the age of 17, Christy left his
home town of Meigs Creek in Morgan County, Ohio. With $300.00 he set off
for New York to pursue a career as an artist. He enrolled at the Art Students

J.C. Leyendecker
Born in Germany,
Leyendecker and his family emigrated to America in 1882. Like many of his
contemporaries, he demonstrated early talent that was nurtured by his parents.
Unable to pay for his art education, Leyendecker apprenticed himself at
the age of 15 to J. Manz & Co., a Chicago engraving house. In the evenings
he took art classes at the Chicago Art Institute. At J. Manz & Co.,
his talent quickly grew from errand boy to staff illustrator. At the age
of 19, he was given the job of creating 60 illustrations for a bible that
Manz was to produce. In 1896, he won a Century Magazine cover competition
bringing him national attention. Soon Leyendecker was doing cover assignments
for Collier's and The Saturday Evening Post, in which he created over 320
Post covers. Leyendecker is best known for creating 'The Arrow Collar Man',
which was the counterpoint to 'The Gibson Girl'. Leyendecker helped boost
sales to over $32 million per year.
175+ Leyendecker
illustrations include; Celebrated magazine covers for Saturday Evening Post,
The Century Magazine, Collier's Weekly, Success, Scribners and more.
Fabulous advertisements for Arrow collars and shirts, The House of Kuppenheimer,
Kellogg's corn flakes, Interwoven socks, Ivory soap and many more.

Maxfield Parrish
Parrish was an
American illustrator and painter who was perhaps the most popular
commercial artist in the United States in the first half of the 20th century.
The son of an artist, Parrish was educated at Haverford College, PA., and
studied art at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and the Drexel Institute
of Art in Philadelphia. He did many posters, magazine covers, and book and
advertising illustrations. By the 1920s he was the highest paid commercial
artist in the nation. Parrish is best known for his depictions of fantasy
landscapes populated by attractive young women. He used meticulously defined
outlines and intricately detailed natural backgrounds, and his unusual color
give his pictures a dreamlike and idyllic atmosphere.
100+ Parrish
illustrations included from the following books; Dream Days, Poems of Childhood,
A Wonder Book and Tanglewood Tales, The Knave of Hearts, The Arabian Nights,
The Reluctant Dragon, and more.
Magazine illustrations; Collier's and Harper's Weekly, Scribners and Century,
Ladies' Home Journal, Hearst's Magazine and more.
Full color posters, advertisements and Parrish's best paintings.
Arthur Rackham
Arthur Rackham is
best remembered for his haunting and dreamlike style that added to the enchantment
and fantasy of his children’s book illustrations, particularly Fairy
Tales of the Brothers Grimm, which was published in 1900. He won gold medals
at Milan (1906) and Barcelona (1911), and his work was highly popular until
World War I and his only competition was Edmund Dulac.
150+ Rackham's
superb book illustrations; Mother Goose, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
and English Fairy Tales, A Wonder Book, Aeosop's Fables, Brother's Grimm
and many more. Also, many of his black and white vignettes. A true master
at children's book illustration.
Harrison Fisher
Known as "The
Father of a Thousand Girls', Fisher showed an early interest in drawing.
At the age of six he was taught by his landscape painter father, Hugh Antoine
Fisher. Fisher's family moved from New York to California. He studied art
at the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art in San Francisco. At sixteen he began
to make drawings for the San Francisco Call and the Examiner. Fisher returned
to New York and worked as a staff artist for Puck Magazine. Recognized for
his ability to draw beautiful women, the Fisher Girl soon became a rival
of Gibson and Christy. After Puck Magazine he did covers for Cosmopolitan
magazine, for which he was under exclusive contract. Fisher is also known
for his portraits of actresses and theatrical personalities.
Fisher's illustrations
include over 100
Fisher girls from various books, magazines and advertisements.
