Famous Children’s Book Illustrators

This section of my website will feature the work of children’s book illustrators throughout history.

I’m starting with early illustrators, hoping that the pictures I have scanned from the books in my collection are not copyright.

When necessary, I’ll provide links to pictures from art gallery and other sites.

Sir John Tenniel

Visual storyteller, illustrator of ‘Alice in Wonderland’ and Alice through the Looking-glass’ and cartoonist for ‘Punch’ magazine and Almanack.

If you are interested in the history of children’s books and their illustration, I hope you will also find the following pages on this site entertaining and useful.

The videos include footage of several early illustrated books.
