In Fairfax-Muckley’s work, the more imitative medievalism of the Arts and Crafts School and the freer arts nouveau style intersect. If he is remembered at all, it is for his illustrations to \u003cem\u003eThe Faerie Queene\u003c\/em\u003e and Blackmore’s \u003cem\u003eFringilla\u003c\/em\u003e (1895): he certainly stands in contrast to Beardsley’s work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wrappers are printed on poor quality paper and consequently brittle and chipped, and several are separated from the block.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Maggs Bros.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47718323191965,"sku":"235576","price":365.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0669\/0045\/9677\/files\/IMG_1711.jpg?v=1773263413","url":"https:\/\/store.maggs.com\/products\/faerie-queene-hdy34tzw","provider":"Maggs Bros.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
