His illustrations of fairies and other mythical creatures adorned above all the books of the children's author Andrew Lang, whose stories were not only published in England but also achieved worldwide fame.
Born in London in 1860, Henry Justice Ford was educated at several British art schools, such as the Slade School of Art. After finishing his artistic education, he exhibited several works of landscape and history painting at the renowned Royal Academy in London. His works have also been honoured in the form of solo exhibitions at the Bailey Gallery, the Fine Art Society and the New Gallery. However, the artist earned his main income by making illustrations for novels and children's books. From 1886 until the late 1920s, Henry Justice Ford worked mainly in the medium of book illustration. For the creation of his graphic works, Henry Ford mainly resorted to pen and ink, although he also carefully colored most of his illustrations. The princesses, fairies, and knights who appear as the main protagonists in Ford's graphics usually wear historical clothing from bygone eras. The style of his illustrations shows connections to Art Nouveau, the Arts and Crafts movement and the Pre-Raphaelites. In addition, his illustrations were influenced by the paintings and graphics of his artistic contemporary Walter Crane as well as those of EEdward Burne Jones. In addition to his work as an illustrator, Henry Justice Ford also designed costumes for theater performances, such as that of Peter Pan in the play by playwright James Matthew Barrie. His artistic activities brought him into contact with influential people of his time, such as the author Conan Arthur Doyle, who is the inspiration for the world-famous novel character Sherlock Holmes.
About the private life of Henry Justice Ford is known that he married very late, at the age of 61. It is assumed that his much younger wife Emily Hoff also served him as a model for his paintings and drawings. Ford spent the last part of his life in the English county of Dorset, where he increasingly lost his intellectual abilities. The talented artist tragically found his last resting place in a mental hospital in Mickleover, which accommodated him until his death in 1941.
