The illustrations are terrific and in the same style to those above. From what i gather he did a lot of work for fiction publications early on but spent most of his career doing historical images for textbooks.

Thanks for putting these up. Love his work.

Im now reading it to my grandchildren. At first they thought I was a bit touched but soon got with the tales..
