David Gentleman II

'Saint George and the Dragon' a mummers book by John Langstaith illustrated with woodcuts by David Gentleman, published in 1973 by Atheneum.

Roger Duvoisin XXVIII

'Angelique' by Janice and Roger Duvoisin published 1960. So happy to share another work from the genius Duvoisin's this time it is the story of Angelique who has her lovely life disrupted by the arrival of Coco the dog. As usual the poetry of Rogers line work is sublime.
