Arthur Rackham self-portrait Arthur Rackham (1867 – 1939) is widely regarded as one of the leading illustrators from the 'Golden Age' of British book illustration which encompassed the years from 1900 until the start of the First World War.

His images have been widely used by the greeting card industry and many of his books are still in print or have been recently available in both paperback and hardback editions.

Stephens (1882 – 1950) was an Irish novelist and poet. He produced many re-tellings of Irish myths and fairy tales. His stories are marked by a combination of humour and lyricism. This version originally published in 1920: 1920 Cover of Irish Fairy Tales Title page "My life became a ceaseless scurry and wound and escape, a burden and anguish of watchfulness" "Wild and shy and monstrous creatures ranged in her plains and forests" "A man who did not like dogs. In fact, he hated them. When he saw one he used to go black in the face, and he threw rocks at it until it got out of sight" "How he strained and panted to catch on that pursuing person and pursue her and get his own switch into action" "In forked glen into which he slipped at night fall he was surrounded by giant toads" "She looked with angry woe at the straining and snarling horde below" "The banqueting hall was in tumult" "The door of Fionn's chamber opened gently and a young woman came into the room" "The Hag of the Mill was a bony, thin pole of a hag with odd feet" "They stood outside, filled with savagery and terror" "The thumping of his big boots grew as continuous as the pattering of hail-stones on a roof, and the wind of his passage blew trees down" "The waves of all the worlds seemed to whirl past them in one huge green cataract" "They offered a cow for each leg of her cow, but she would not accept that offer unless Fiachna went bail for the payment" The Sleeping Beauty told by Charles Seddon Evans. The Sleeping Beauty by Charles Perrault or Little Briar Rose by the Brothers Grimm is a classic fairy-tale involving a beautiful princess, enchantment of sleep, and a handsome prince. Written as an original literary tale, it was first published by Charles Perrault in Histoires ou contes du temps passé in 1697.

Mattias Adolfsson’s (previously) impeccably detailed illustrations demonstrate his propensity for a controlled frenzy that borders on the chaotic but never quite passes the threshold. The Swedish artist creates fantastical drawings of city blocks, bizarre collections of writing utensils, and intricate menageries of deceased animals that merge science fiction, whimsy, and the absurd. While some of the muted artworks feature a central narrative, like the sea-bound ship below, each of his incredibly intricate pieces are impossible to consider with a single glance, in part because they cover the entire sketchbook spread.

Greetings! I would like to welcome everyone to Papers in the Attic blog page. If
Dans son Artbook "Beautiful Nightmares" paru aux Editions Venusdea, Nicoletta Ceccoli emporte le lecteur vers une terre où des personnages de contes de fées évoluent en plein surrélsme et frôlent l'Art des peintures Flamandes du XVIème siècle, un endroit où Blanche-Neige et Alice deviennent poupées déjantées du Pays des Merveilles et vivent dans une forêt de confiseries. Je me suis empressée d'avoir dans ma bibliothèque ce petit bijou de livre. J'avais découvert l'Art de Nicoleta Ciccoli par une carte d'anniversaire. "Lollipopland" - Acrylique sur papier. On remarque nettement la passion de Nicoleta Ceccoli pour les contes et pour les livres d'images. La publication de ses premières oeuvres remonte à 1997. Depuis lors, elle a illustré des livres en Italie, au Royaume-Uni et aux USA. Après avoir exposé sept fois son travail au Salon du Livre Jeunesse de Bologne, Nicoleta Ciccoli a reçu de nombreuses récompenses dont le prix Andersen pour le meilleur illustrateur italien en 2001, la Médaille d'Argent de la Société des Illustrateurs à New York en 2006, et quatre fois la Récompense d'Excellence des Arts de la Communication. L'artiste vit actuellement, en qualité d'illustratrice à plein temps, dans la République de Saint-Marino en Italie.
