He was one of seven children of Irish cartoonist John Doyle and received all his art training in his father's studio. Richard was always fascinated by fairy tales. After working for Punch and a string of commissions to illustrate fantasy books, Doyle was given a free hand by publisher Longman, London, to work on colour plates and other illustrations for a fairy themed book. A poem was written by William Allingham, engraving and printing done by Edmund Evans. The book was published in time for Christmas 1869 and became a beautiful example of Victorian colour printing and one of the finest books for children ever produced."In Fairyland: A Series of Pictures from the Elf-World" is considered as Doyle's masterpiece where in elaborate detail he reveals secret world of fairies and elves at its most enchanting. The book was printed in two thousand copies as an expensive and extravagant gift and became a rarity and a collector's item. Richard Doyle is also known as the uncle of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the Sherlock Holmes stories.This poster is a high quality "giclee" reproduction of a restored antique original, custom-printed on Standard Single-weight Matt Coated art paper 140gsm or Heavyweight Matt Coated art paper 230gsm (more of a thin card density), or superb Epson Matt Canvas 320gsm, according to your choice. We use the latest UltraChromeHDX pigment inks which guarantee 60 years of colour permanence (up to 200 years fade-proof for colour prints). This poster is suitable for mounting and framing, as well as direct display on a wall.IMPORTANT: If you are going to frame this print we recommend art paper 230gsm or canvas 320gsm. The 140gsm art paper option makes sense if you wish to DIY-frame or to tack the poster to a wall without framing, due to it being lighter and more flexible. All three options are giclee prints of the same high quality.POSTER PRINT QUALITYPlease note that our reproduction posters are made to order and every print is checked before posting.
