William Thomas Horton

Ilustrador simbolista de The Savoy

William Thomas Horton nació en Bruselas el 27 de junio de 1864 y pasó la mayor parte de su infancia allí; su familia se mudó más tarde a Brighton, donde asistió a la Brighton Grammar School. Luego trabajó para un arquitecto de Brighton y estudió construcción de edificios en una escuela de arte local. Horton was one of the Smithers People, a number of artists sponsored by Leonard Smithers (1861–1907). Some starry names were in his orbit, including the writers Oscar Wilde and W. B. Yeats. In 1896 he launched The Savoy, a culture magazine that counted Aubrey Beardsley as art editor and for which Horton was a frequent contributor.
