Robert Fawcett: The Illustrator's Illustrator

Robert Fawcett who was known by his peers as 'The illustrator's illustrator', is recently chronicled in a book by Auad publishing, a well known publisher for quality books on artists from the turn of the century to the 'Golden Age of Illustration'.

Walt Reed who is a legend in his own time as an artist and a purveyor of famous artists for almost a century was a personal friend of Robert Fawcett wrote the introduction for the book.

The book will contain more than a hundred color illustrations and numerous black and white drawings. These are images which have long been out of circulation and are largely unavailable today.

Many of the images from the book were made from the originals which have been hidden away for decades by private collectors so the quality will be superior to the images published in magazines decades ago.

The book will measure 9X12", Hardcover with a dust jacket, 182 pages plus a fold-out.

Best of all, the 12 Fawcett Sherlock Holmes illustrations will be together in a book for the first time, some taken from the original paintings.
