Reginald and Horace Knowles Collection

Reginald Knowles (1879-1950) was a book designer and illustrator who worked with his brother, Horace

Knowles, on a number of exquisite illustrated books in the first two decades of the 20th Century and thus,

are associated with with Golden Age of Illustration.

While both brothers usually share equal credit, it is understood that most of the colour illustrations and

detailed monotone images were prepared by Reginald Knowles.

A decade after their earliest work, Horace Knowles produced a stunning and comprehensive suite of

colour and monotone illustrations for Peeps into Fairyland (1924).

The Art Nouveau, Fantasy and Gothic Revival imagery captured in the illustrations by the Knowles brother is

magnificent.
