Here is a pictorial survey of the artists whose legendary heroes, beautiful heroines, sprites, elves, sorcerers, demons, imaginary landscapes, and sup ernatural adventures dominated Victorian and Edwardian illustration from 18 60 to 1920. These highly inventive artists delved deeply into the unconscio usness and drew upon folklore, mythology, medieval art, and the remote past to discover symbols and images to illustrate the fantastic fiction and poe try of the time. Their style took its inspiration from many artistic source s: the pre-Raphaelite rediscovery of a medieval world that never was; the S ymbolist movement in art and poetry; the late romantics and decadents; Art Nouveau; the art and design of the Orient. Setting the stage for 20th centu ry surrealism, they looked beyond the world of reality into the world of dr eams and ancestral memory.
