I've updated my site with 700+ more images since last post. The new artists includes: Czeschka, Pavlishin, Jessie M. King ... and it has passed the 1000 images mark.

For those who haven't visit my Web site, I believe I have the largest collection of images scanned from the original books, not reprint, etc. Details and colors are lost in subsequent reprint of their works, which you can directly compare from other sites.

If you like it, I would appreciate a link from your site. Enjoy !!!

For me, no childrens book illustrator is better than K.Y. Craft. Her work is just astounding and I always feel 'pulled' into the pictures. It's entirely a world of its own.

I've found some very beautiful illustrations by Anne Bachelier for the as yet to be published "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass". Enjoy
