Illustration Magazine #71

Plot

Highly Recommended. Featuring the work of W.W. Denslow, best known for his illustrations for very first edition of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and other notable children’s books of the early 1900s. Next featuring the work of Ken Riley, best known for his wonderfully authentic pictures of Horatio Hornblower by C.S. Forester, as well as other fiction that appeared in The Saturday Evening Post and Colliers, from the 1950s to the early 1970s. His realism, design and unique color work is very fine, “following in the footsteps of Howard Pyle and Norman Rockwell.” Illustrated Press, 2021.
