Pauline Baynes était une illustratrice anglaise renommée pour son style distinctif qui a donné vie à des œuvres fondamentales de la fantasy. Son art méticuleux et précis a particulièrement brillé dans ses illustrations pour la très appréciée série "Les Chroniques de Narnia". Elle possédait un talent remarquable pour capturer l'essence des royaumes imaginaires, ce qui l'a amenée à être choisie par J.R.R. Tolkien lui-même pour illustrer ses récits. Bien qu'ayant débuté avec peu de formation artistique formelle, Baynes a développé des compétences exceptionnelles en cartographie et dans la création de scènes détaillées, permettant aux lecteurs de s'immerger profondément dans des paysages fantastiques.
