Housman, Laurence

A Farm in Fairyland, by Laurence Housman, London, Kegan Paul, Trench Trübner & Co. , 1894.

The book contains twelve stories written, illustrated and engraved by Laurence Housman (1865-1959), who was a late follower of Aubrey Beardsley and the decadent movement. His stories are each accompanied by a beautiful wood engraving. His style can be placed somewhere between medieval woodcut prints and art deco drawings. His human figures, especially those of boys, seem a little alienated in their appearance and pose. The title page shows an allegorical figure that stands in front of an intricate pattern that shows small scenes of all the stories. B2321
