Henry Justice Ford

Today, after viewing this beautiful and creepy short graphic novel by Emily Carroll, I was reminded of the style of illustrator greats John Tenniel and Henry Justice Ford. I looked up drawings by the latter illustrator and my breath was absolutely taken away. The detail, the beauty, the imagination-- so, so inspiring. Here are some delightful ones from his drawings in "Colored Fairybooks" and one in "Arabian Nights Entertainments".
