The Enchanted Forest (1921)
Illustrated by Ida Rentoul Outhwaite
The Enchanted Forest is a collaboration between Outhwaite and her husband, Grenbry - a man whose business acumen may have contributed significantly to his wife's success. For The Enchanted Forest, for example, Grenbry is known to have subsidised the printing costs with his own contribution of £400 to ensure high quality reproduction of his wife's illustration. In addition, he ensured that the royalties from this title were consigned to the Red Cross - a decision that ensured Vice-Regal patronage. |

When presented on Greeting Cards, these images are prepared as tipped-on plates - in hommage to the hand-crafted approach typical of prestige illustrated publications produced in the early decades of the 20th Century. Each card is hand-finished and the images are presented on Ivory card stock (in the case of colour illustrations) and White card stock (in the case of monotone images) with an accompanying envelope. The rear of each card carries information about Ida Rentoul Outhwaite, this wonderful suite and the profiled illustration - we have left the interior of the cards blank so that you may write your own personal message.
Should you wish to order a reproduction print of one or more of these images, we have provided some options below. Each of our Fine Art Posters is prepared with archival quality papers and inks - and also accompanied by information about Ida Rentoul Outhwaite, this suite and the profiled illustration.
