Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. The Work of E H Shepard; edited by Rawle Knox; McClelland and Stewart, Toronto, 1979. Printed in Great Britain. From the blurb This volume, published to mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of Ernest Shepard, offers the best and most characteristic of his whole range of work; it also provides a balanced appreciation of the man as artist and companion. Edward H. Shepard, Kipper to his family and friends, is perhaps best known and loved for the children's illustrations he did for the work of A. A. Milne and for his incomparable drawings for Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows. His output, however, was considerable and altogether he illustrated somewhere near to a hundred books. Over a period of fifty years he also had weekly drawings in Punch magazine and these too are represented here. Contributions to this volume include H. F. Ellis, for many years assistant editor of Punch, Penelope Fitzgerald, author of the definitive biography of Edward Burne-Jones, and art historian Bevis Hillier. It is Bevis Hillier who has the last word on Shepard's place in the history of English illustration I see him as the end of a tradition, not the beginning of one. He is the last of the great Victorian black and white men. Illustrated with over three hundred drawings and paintings, many in colour. This book is in fine condition in a fine dust jacket that is now in a protective mylar wrap. Nº de ref. del artículo: 2549b
