Victorian fairies

Someone once said that the Victorian era invented childhood. No surprise then, that the era was characterized by an explosion of fairy pictures from a variety of artists. In this group, you can feast your eyes on the creative output of illustrators such as Arthur Rackham, Warwick Goble, Richard Doyle and artists such as Henry Meynell Rheam, Joseph Noel Paton, John Anster Fitzgerald and the unfortunate Richard Dadd, who produced most of his art while in jail. Also included are Polish Witold Pruszkowski, Spanish Luis Ricardo Falero, Austrian Zatzka and even a non-Victorian Sulamith Wulfing. On the wall, you will find links to other fairy art fan pages.

What's great about this group: Admire art from a specific period and genre.

Update (25 October 2023)
This group does not seem to exist anymore.
