Exceptional illustrations, a couple of stand-out ones that really appeal to me, I’d have to say a good find Paul!
Great illustrator, although the subject matter of most of his work doesn’t appeal to me.   These I like.

The stuff of nightmares, I have seen some of them before many years ago.   Beautiful draughtsmansship   But not for my wall.
Sigh a silly repeat.

Certainly a very talented artist/draughtsman and his work is very much of its time.
You're dead right there Tessa.  He starts with a big plus from me because I admire pen and ink drawings.  He is a bit dark, but I guess he had to take what was offered to make a living.  This is an illustration from the Bride of Christ (about the violation of Belgium in the First World War)...propaganda stuff... ...an unhappy subject, but a great drawing. A few more.... A book illustrator has to reflect what's in the book.  Maybe if it was a dark subject, this artist was the 'go-to' man.  Who knows?  This one is from the Pied Piper...where the town elders refuse to pay the piper. I'm happy with dark...most folk tales and fairy stories are dark.  I can revel in drawings such as these while I drink my coco.
There is no doubting his ability to draw , even if we are not keen on the subjects he draws , the details in the background etc are so well done . A few more I’m trying to find some different subjects but the majority are on the dark side , the last one is attributed to him and prints are sold of this unfinished work, it’s alley stage five . 
One can only be impressed with the skill involved.
Next weeks featuring artists are , Rob Barnes and Jackson Lee Nisbit
