Thomas Mackenzie Collection

Thomas Mackenzie (1887-1944) was an artist associated with the Golden Age of Illustrations. He produced

illustrations for books and watercolours during the early 20th Century.

The Thomas Mackenzie Collection at Spirit of the Ages includes art images from some of Mackenzie'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.

His earliest commissioned works were for Ali Baba and Aladdin and illustrations for Chaundler's Arthur and His

Knights. Other illustrated books followed, including Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp, Hassan and The Crock of

Gold.

Mackenzie's illustrations are reminiscent of the work of his Art Nouveau peers, including Aubrey Beardsley, Harry

Clarke and Kay Nielsen. His images for Arthur and His Knights, in particular, are stylistically similar to those of

Nielsen in East of the Sun and West of the Moon, but have a softness about them that remind one of the

watercolours that he also produced.
