The Art of Sidney H Sime

 

 

Sidney H Sime (1867-1941) is one of the artists associated with the Golden Age of Illustration - being best known for his detailed monotone work.

 

The Sidney H Sime Collection at Spirit of the Ages includes art images from some of Sime's seminal work. As a valuable reference resource, options are also provided for purchasing a range of gifts, including reproduction prints, posters and greeting cards.

 

Sime was born into poverty in Manchester and worked his way through a variety of jobs before he entered the Liverpool School of Art. While studying at that School, he won the South Kensington Medal.

 

He established a reputation for fantastic illustrations through contributions to Pick-Me-Up, The Idler and the Pall Mall Gazette. After he received an inheritance, Sime even purchased The Idler, but the investment was to prove unsuccessful, with the magazine closing within two years.

In 1905, Sime was approached by Lord Dunsany to illustrate The Gods of Pegăna and his subsequent contributions to

Dunsany's work marked the beginning of a long association between author and illustrator. It also marked a significant

development in Sime's career and burgeoning reputation as a fantasy artist.
