Sidney H. Sime

Sidney H Sime was an illustrator of the “Golden Age” (late 19th & early 20th centuries) best known for his work for Irish story teller Lord Dunsany. His carreer interested me as he is from my home city of Manchester. Seemingly, he was a “jack of all trades” before following his career as an artist. He has been cited as an influenced by many contemporary “fantasy” artists. The images presented here are all extracted from the books of Lord Dunsany which I found on the Internet Archive site.
