Summary: "A Book of Images" by W. T. Horton and W. B. Yeats is an illustrated work published during the late 19th century. This book belongs to the genre of art and illustration, showcasing the symbolic art style of the period. The likely topic of the book revolves around the exploration of mystical and symbolic themes through images, influenced by the spiritual and artistic movements of the time, particularly the Symbolist movement. The book features a collection of drawings by Horton, introduced by the renowned poet W. B. Yeats, who reflects on the nature of art and symbolism. The illustrations depict various scenes and themes, ranging from idealized landscapes to mystical figures, embodying the search for perfection and deeper emotional meanings. Each drawing aims to convey complex ideas and emotions, moving beyond mere representation to evoke the imagination and spiritual reflection in the viewer. Yeats's introduction further delves into the philosophical underpinnings of symbolism, distinguishing it from allegory and emphasizing art's role in connecting the divine essence with human experience.
