William Thomas Horton

Ilustrador simbolista da The Savoy

William Thomas Horton nasceu em Bruxelas em 27 de junho de 1864 e passou a maior parte da sua infância lá; a sua família mudou-se mais tarde para Brighton, onde frequentou a Brighton Grammar School. Posteriormente, trabalhou para um arquiteto de Brighton e estudou construção de edifícios numa escola 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.
