This volume, published to mark the l00th 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.Ernest H. Shepard,''Kipper' to his family andfriends, 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.Contributors 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.' 1979. First edition. A fine copy with a previous owners bookplate on the front pastedown. The d/w is near fine with only very superficial shelf rubbing on the rear panel. Scans available if required. {"length"=>["26"], "width"=>["20"], "units"=>["Centimeters"]}.
