 Warwick Goble Arthuor's Star Sign
 Nationality - English Profession - Illustrator
 Date of birth - 22 Nov 1862 Date of death - 1943
 Place of birth - Dalston, North London :
Warwick Goble was born in 1862, and while not as famous as Arthur Rackham or Edmund Dulac, nevertheless contibuted his own mastery of watercolor to the Golden Age of Illustration. In fact, he contributed to magazines and was displayed in exhibits for years before he began to illustrate books.

Goble's delicate style and interest in things Oriental, an interest shared by Dulac, made him a natural for such books as Green Willow, as well as numerous other Middle Eastern and Asian works. This is not to say he didn't illustrate other kinds of books, but his style seemed to resonate with the Asian-inspired work, which is what he is most rememebered for.
