Edward Ardizzone: English Artist & Illustrator
Edward Ardizzone was a magnificent English artist and illustrator that we at the Laughing Elephant have long admired. His ability to capture the personality of his subjects was unparalleled, and he did it most frequently using only pen and ink, sometimes with a little color added for enhancement.
Below are some more of his illustrations, and still more, done for the books of Eleanor Farjeon, in our blog on Eleanor Farjeon <
