The Art of Violet Brunton

Violet Brunton (1878-1951) was an English artist associated with the Golden Age of Illustration. She honed her talent

at the Liverpool School of Art where she studied woodcarving, miniature painting and book illustration. Her work

won the County Palatine Scholarship and she was subsequently offered a place at the Royal College of Art in

London.

The Violet Brunton Collection at Spirit of the Ages includes art images from some of Brunton'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.

Brunton contributed to two illustrated books published in 1927, The Jeweller of Bagdad and Ecclesiasticus,

or the Wisdom of Jesus the Son of Sirach. The following year, her illustrations for Green Magic were published

and in 1929, a further illustrated title carrying her contributions, Silver Magic, was published.
