Jerzy Srokowski II


Jerzy Srokowski's illustrations of J. M. Barrie's Peter Pan published in 1958. I love seeing different interpretations of illustrators to classic texts of children's literature across time and culture and how these different interpretations change our perceptions of the story. This book is a mix of soft, full colour, watercolour illustrations and detailed, expressive pen and ink drawings.

  1. Hi! Thanks for sharing! In Poland they do not remember this book well...
    Maybe you will be interested to see illustrations for Peter Pan by Katsiaryna Dubovik.
