Eleanor Fortesque Brickdale was one of the great illustrators
of the later Victorian era, even though she is not as well known as some of her male contemporaries.
She was strongly influenced by the Pre-Raphaelites like Waterhouse and Millais, but some of her
work also shows the influence of the Art Nouveau period and even the Impressionists.
Brickdale's illustrations have many portrait-like qualities, and while they have some similarity
in the formal poses and rich color to the work of Sir William Russell Flint, her subjects personalities
shine through in a way which Flint's work never achieved. She also gives many of her images
a faux-medieval look with elaborate stylized backgrounds and even painted text frames and
decorations.

If you like Eleanor Brickdale you will probably also like Sir William Russell Flint. You can find
extensive samples of our Flint collection at IMAGES 
Our new Brickdale collection is drawn primarily from her illustrations
for Tennyson's Idylls of the King and Browning's Dramatis Personae. Her interpretations
of these classic poems of the Victorian and Romantic eras bring to life characters like Sir Lancelot and
the Pied Piper in a style which is unique and entrancing. 
Our Brickdale package is available for only $25 and includes a large selection
of full-color images, as well as a few items of black and white marginalia and decoration. As with all of
our art packages the images are licensed for you to use in your designs and projects. 
This package is very new, so it is not yet available through our online ordering system,
but you can order it for delivery by mail our email from our toll-free number at 1-800-797-8973.
