Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe
Someone has shown interest in the Dore prints and so I am posting in hopes they post as well to bring this cool thread up-to-date.

I know Anton Pieck illustrated A Thousand and One Nights, A Christmas Carol and The Wonderful Adventures of Nils and some of the fairy tales by the brother Grimm, but I can't find any decent pictures online. Maybe I'll scan some in the morning.
You know I had brain fever, and that is to be mad.
That would be great Propter W; I would love to discover a new illustrator of these classic works.Originally Posted by Propter W.

Great Thread! I saw your Maxfield Parrish and was thinking of something that happened many years ago. My father had a habit of going to construction dump sites and often, the areas were also used by people who did estate cleaning. One day, my father found a bright painting, obviously an original of a mother partially drapped with a child standing over her. He took it home and hung it in his and my mothers bedroom. My mother had a fit, she was very religious and the woman was showing part of a breast. Several years later, I looked at some of Maxfield Parrish paintings and wondered if it was actually something by him. When my mother passed, I asked my sister what became of the painting, she said she assumed it had been thrown away
