What was called the “Golden Age Illustration” was a period of when the technologies in the 18th century were starting to develop and advance in its time and public demand for graphic arts. Artists would then use the skills and ideas to draw concepts for buildings, architecture and interiors for more unique buildings. This would’ve been a big step for illustrators to begin illustrating with their imaginations and also for novels such as children books, mainly on fairy tales and folklores.
European illustrators were influenced by the Pre-Raphaelites and unique design-oriented movements, it would give them more ideas of making unique designs for houses then being all similar to each other and later in the 20th century many houses and architecture designs would evolve over the decades and stand out more.
There have been recent numbers of talented artists who have taken their skills further to making children books, like Beatrix Potter’s books about Peter Rabbit,
jack and the Bean Stalk, a fairy tale book published by the folklorist writer Joseph Jacobs
Among the Gnomes and Trolls by John Bauer
Brothers Grimm that have made big impact and influence among other artists in the later period of time and made their own unique styles of illustrations, mostly 2-D and brighter colours for younger readers.
When Japan ended it’s isolation from the world, artists were greatly inspired by their artwork of illustrating stories, myths and history. Fashion illustration was also an influence on the western cultures such as Christopher Dresser after his trip to Japan and admired the coursel-granulated character of the fabric used to make the outfits.Their influence in Europe can be found in France with many portraits with Japanosim, including France for their portraits.
