William Thomas Horton

William Thomas Horton (27 Jun 1864 – 19 Feb 1919) was a Belgian-born English artist, writer, and occultist connected to the symbolist and aestheticist movements. His drawings were largely unpublished during his lifetime. He has been described as "the only illustrator who came near Yeats's ideal of a Symbolist art composed entirely of images that could be recognised as meaningful by instinct rather than because of cultural conditioning."[1]
