About the Artist
Ida Rentoul Outhwaite (1888–1960) was a celebrated Melbourne-born artist and illustrator, renowned for her whimsical depictions of fairies, elves and magical woodland creatures. Largely self-taught, she became one of Australia’s most recognisable fantasy illustrators of the early twentieth century. Her intricate illustrations, often combining European fairy-tale traditions with Australian flora and fauna, appeared in numerous children’s books, including Elves and Fairies (1916) and The Enchanted Forest (1921). Today, her work is highly regarded for its imaginative beauty and important contribution to Australia’s Golden Age of Illustration.
