Exactly What I Was Looking For
Fabulous book. Exactly what I was looking for in regards to illustrations and their illustrators during this period. This is a great reference book for me. Looking for an earlier and later time period now!

wonderful reference, but....
I collect children's illustrated books from this time period, andI Ive been looking for a book like this for a very long time. Thrilled by its scope, and by the inclusion of many illustrators I didn't know about, which brings me to a problem - none of the photos gave a caption telling me what publication each one came from!! I guess I need to google each artist and see if I can find images and learn that way, but i am disappointed that these were not already included. That being said, it is a wonderful reference and starting point for anyone interested in these illustrators.

One regret.
Star studded, with the one regret: There should be a hard-back option, all there is is paperback.

If, like myself, you enjoy drawing and painting... plus greatly admire the work of some professional artists enough to collect one or two books illustrating their work...then you will absolutely DROOL over this volume..!! Over 250 heavy quality pages absolutely crammed with the artwork of over a hundred of the world's greatest illustrators....this is an absolute GEM of a book...!!!
