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. ***AN ORIGINAL COLLECTION AVAILABLE ONLY THROUGH ARTISTLIGHT*** Every morning I spend fifteen minutes filling my mind full of God; and so there's no room left for worry thoughts.
