About This Item
Thames & Hudson, London, 1977. Softcover. Very Good Condition. All & everything is possible in chidren's books: princes turn into toads, plants shoot up into the clouds, giants roam & bluster like rogue adults. Accordingly, children's book illustrators have, over the past two hundred years, allowed metaphors to blossom. No need to take the storyteller's word for it; there , on the page, the artist shows what happens. When We Were Young is a comprehensive, international survey from William Blake to the advent of the television era in 1950. William Feavers introductory text discusses techniques, sources, influences, styles and, not least, the illustrators themselves: Tenniel, Crane, Doyle, Rackham, Beatrix Potter, Heinrich Hoffmann, Cruickshank, Burra, W. Heath Robinson, Lear, Marvyn Peake and many, many more.". 96 pages. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilogram. Category: Books About Books; Books on Books; Art. ISBN: 0500270759.
