Note:
Enid Sybil Mills produced a number of elaborate and fantastical fairy scenes, which exhibit a stylistic debt to the Art Nouveau approach of illustrators such as Arthur Rackham (1867-1939). These present works include a number of these scenes, alongside illuminated passages of poetry, two from 'The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam' (translated into English by Edward Fitzgerald in 1859), and one taken from Prospero's soliloquy in Shakespeare's 'The Tempest' (1611). The exquisite detail of the present works is typical of the genre of fairy painting, and also exhibits Mills's considerable technical ability.
