At the turn of the twentieth century, the demand for magazine and book illustrations was at an alltime high, offering women artists an unprecedented number of professional opportunities. This unique anthology features 120 color and blackandwhite artworks by the Golden Age of Illustration's finest female illustrators, including Beatrix Potter, Kate Greenaway, and Jessie Willcox Smith.A career in illustration represented an ideal opportunity for women in postVictorian society. Every wellbred girl was schooled in the arts of sketching and drawing, and by working at home, a woman's modesty could remain uncompromised. Successful competition in a world dominated by male artists, however, called for determination as well as talent. This compilation celebrates the accomplishments of twentytwo female illustrators, including Elenore Abbott, Mabel Lucie Attwell, Elizabeth Shippen Green, Ruth Mary Hallock, Jessie Marion King, Dorothy Lathrop, Ida Rentoul Outhwaite, Margaret Winifred Tarrant, and others.
