They accompany the reader into a world of fantasy or underline the events of the world in their expressiveness. As early as the 18th century, the desire of bourgeois society arose to add illustrations to the world of books and magazines. This desire marked the beginning of the cultural-historical development of literary illustration. A form of art that became commonplace. An art form that was considered more of a craft than an art until the Arts and Craft movement in the mid-19th century. The Arts and Craft movement sought the natural beauty of things and the aesthetics of craft in an age of advancing industrialization. The painters William Morris and John Ruskin began to create a connection between art, society and production. The book moved to center stage and the era of artfully illustrated publishing editions began.
At the birth of William Hatherell, the English kingdom was led by Victoria. A regent who stood one for progress and made England the center of industrialization. In the arts, an antithesis was awakening. A longing for magical creatures and fantastic worlds developed, which could be realized in the legendary stories of King Arthur and in Shakespeare's novel heroes. The artist Hatherell lost himself in this magic. Often his models had to pose for hours in his courtyard until he captured the message of his work. Regardless of whether Juliet was waiting on the balcony or current events were to be clarified by an illustration. Hatherell did not allow himself to drift and consistently followed through on his aspirations for art. Contrary to the opinions of his contemporaries and those of his patrons, the artist did not place productivity and profit above aesthetics.
The spirit of the age and the state of technology stripped Hatherell's works of much of their original quality. The paper, the ink, and ultimately the print quality turned great art into an inferior consumer product. To the reading public, the subtle shading and expressive gestures of the figures in William's works remained hidden. Malicious tongues were of the opinion that bourgeois society would not recognize quality anyway. Crude illustrations, far from Hatherell's artistic sensibility, were quite sufficient for the consuming middle classes. Hatherell accepted the discrepancy between his work and the printed result. The artist continued his work undeterred, knowing that his viewers would never be able to see the real art that was in his work. Modern technology gives William's illustrations a new glow and allows him to receive the artistic honor that was once denied him. Perhaps Hatherell once thought, on a long afternoon in his yard, that no one would ever know the difference. Just a few generations later, however, the time has come and the beauty of the original paintings is authentically replicated.
