Is a beautiful montage of contrasts, with essays about illustrators familiar and less than familiar. We open with Emilka Jansen’s wide-ranging study of The Wizard of Oz and the various ways in which it was illustrated. Emilka presents some fascinating images. Equally striking are Chris Wormell’s poetic designs, especially those for Philip Pullman’s Northern Lights and Alan Garner’s Owl Service, which the artist explains in detail. Chris’s confessions are matched by Warren Clements, who offers an insider’s view on running a small press: fascinating stuff! We also have some stimulating essays on illustrators of the past. Jacqueline Banerjee introduces us to Frederick Villiers, a hard-hitting and sometime heart-rending war artist who is now pretty much forgotten, and Francesca Tancini writes about an illustrator and book-cover designer who is anything but obscure – the fantastically creative and versatile Walter Crane. The Editor’s essay on Blake’s Songs of Innocence and Experience takes us further back in time, and as usual we have a variety of reviews, notices, and items of interest.
