Fairy subject pictures, often based on Shakespeare’s A midsummer night’s dream and The tempest, were popular in late nineteenth-century England, and catered to the Victorians’ fascination with the ‘spirit world’. Frank Craig’s painting Goblin market, originally exhibited at the Royal Academy, London, in 1911, is a late example of the genre, although fairies, goblins, pixies and elves continued to be the staple of children’s book illustration. Craig was renowned as a magazine illustrator in black and white, but his material was mainly drawn from historical and social narratives. The works he exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1895 to 1915 were also mostly genre paintings, portraits, and medieval and modern historical subjects in the manner of his mentor at the Royal Academy Schools, Edwin Austin Abbey.
