Sidney Sime,Illustrator to Lord Dunsany
« on: August 17, 2010, 02:43:06 AM »
I'm sure most of you have heard of Sidney Sime,he illustrated Lord Dunsany's Gods of Pegana et al. Have a look at this gallery,I'm sure you will agree,beautiful stuff  :-*. And if I remember correctly HPL name checks him in 'Pickman's Model'.

"There's something those fellows catch - beyond life - that they're able to make us catch for a second. Dore had it. Sime has it. Angarola of Chicago has it. And Pickman had it as no man ever had it before or - I hope to Heaven - ever will again."

(Bit of a Pickman nut... sorry!  lol)
