An album of illustrations created by Robert Ingpen, one of the most famous book artists of the XNUMXth century.
Contrary to the name of their profession, a good illustrator does more than simply illustrate a book. He becomes its full-fledged co-author, because together with the writer he creates a world that, at least for a while, will become as important for us as the real world. Or forever — if the book is great. Australian Robert Ingpen, one of the most famous book artists of the XNUMXth century, illustrated dozens of literary masterpieces. Gulliver’s Travels and Robinson Crusoe, The Canterbury Tales and Shakespeare’s tragedies, Treasure Island and Alice in Wonderland were published with his drawings. Readers who discovered them with Ingpen’s illustrations can only be envied. The same album contains works representing Ingpen not only as an excellent illustrator, but also as an unconditionally original and very talented artist. So everyone who is familiar with the work of Ingpen will buy it without additional recommendations. The rest should hurry — the circulation of this excellent edition is quite small.
