This era saw the rise of talented artists like Arthur Rackham, Howard Pyle, and Charles Robinson, who created intricate and imaginative illustrations that captivated readers. Their work often accompanied fairy tales, children's literature, and periodicals, enhancing the storytelling experience. During this time, advances in printing technology allowed for high-quality reproductions of illustrations, making them more accessible to the public.
