Richard Doyle (1824-83) was a remarkable artist and caricaturist who at nineteen became a regular contributor to "Punch" before proceeding to illustrate numerous notable publications. (DNB). "Looking within himself, Doyle found a fantastic imagined world in which fairies and elves live in the open air among birds, butterflies, snails and beetles as large as themselves."
