 Illustrations by Rudyard Kipling
Thackeray, he created illustrations for his written work, but whereas the author of Vanity Fair worked in a style characteristic of early Victorian illustrators close to the tradition of caricature, Kipling's work reveals the influence of Aubrey Beardsley and other artists of the '90s and after.
The large interrupted areas of fl and white in "The Cat that Walked by Himself" and "The Whale looking for the little 'Stute Fish" show the obvious influence of Beardsley, whose style emphasizes the characteristic strengths of the photographic reproductive processes that replaced the wood engraving of earlier Victorian illustration.
Both "The Whale swallowing the Mariner" and "The Animal that came out of the sea" resemble the work of Sidney Sime, Lord Dunsany's illustrator.
