E. H. (Edmund Hort) New
Edmund Hort New (1871–1931) was an English artist and book illustrator associated with the Arts and Crafts movement. He is particularly known for his detailed pen-and-ink drawings, which adorned numerous books during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Among his notable works is the illustration of William Morris's "News from Nowhere" and the popular series of guidebooks "Bell's Cathedral Series." New's style emphasized intricate line work and a strong sense of design, drawing inspiration from the Pre-Raphaelite and medieval traditions.
