Ida Rentoul Outhwaite: Fairy and Fairy Tale Art

 

 

Ida Rentoul Outhwaite (1888-1960) was among the first Australian illustrators to achieve international fame - and her fame was deserved

with wonderfully whimsical fairy and fairy tale images (her fairies are often to be found playing with kookaburras, koalas and kangaroos).

 

The Ida Rentoul Outhwaite Collection at Spirit of the Ages includes art images from some of her seminal work depicting fairies and fairy

tales. As a valuable reference resource, options are also provided for purchasing a range of gifts, including reproductions if her illustrations

on prints, posters and greeting cards.

Rentoul Outhwaite's first illustrations were published whilst she was in her teens - some appeared in

"The New Idea" accompanying a story by her sister, Annie Rentoul. In the years that followed, the sisters

collaborated on a number of modern fairy tales. Following her marriage to Grenbry Outhwaite in 1909, too,

she collaborated with her husband - most notably for "The Enchanted Forest" (1921), "The Little Fairy

Sister" (1923) and "Fairyland" (1926). In a number of cases, her children - Robert, Anne, Wendy and

William - served as models for her illustrations.

(in the case of colour illustrations) or White card stock (in the case of monotone images) with an accompanying envelope.

 

Each of our Fine Art Posters is prepared with archival quality papers and inks.
